Stunning. Thank you!
What a beautiful house! Mr. Melchers paintings remind me of some of the works of Mary Cassatt. I would love to see Chief Justice John Marshall’s boyhood home in Fauquier County known as “The Hollow”.
Thank you
Lovely presentation.
I doubt it is a "Linen Press" due to the furniture's vulnerability to water. Rather, it could be a book press.
Thank you for featuring this beautiful home. I always love to hear the name Fitzhugh, which is my name, I was named after my grandfather Fitzhugh Lee. also, my great grandmother's last name was Fitzhugh, and she was from Virginia, I also had several cousins who lived in Richmond who were Fitzhugh's!
Enjoyed the video and the home. New subscribers to your channel and looking forward to more.
