I can't say that I approve of that renowned architect's renovations to the house, but it also appears that he had a lot of add-ons over the years to work around. I'd love to see what the original house (Hill of Roses) looked like at the time of the war. Right now, a history-minded decorator could have a field day in sprucing it up. Thanks for sharing.

P.S. I also appreciated the style of the person who wrote the accompanying history of the farm - with tongue-in-cheek pokes at its Civil War experiences in a territory right outside the Union capital.
