Vanished Architecture of the Old Dominion

Vanished Architecture of the Old Dominion

Dover
Dover was built for James Morson, a lawyer from Fredericksburg who was married to Ellen Bruce. She was raised at Berry Hill; her father, James Coles Bruce was one of the wealthiest men in the nation. Dover's interior was a sumptuous display of classical detailing.

Mannsfield
The measurements of the main house at Mannsfield, 69 by 51 feet, were almost exactly those of Mount Airy. Mann Page III, the builder of Mannsfield, was married to Mary Tayloe of Mount Airy.

Greenway Court
At Greenway Court, in what was then the backwoods, Thomas, sixth Baron Fairfax of Cameron, positioned himself to administer effectively the rent and sale of his five-million-acre inheritance, the Northern Neck proprietary. He changed to frontier garb and became a recluse.

The Register In a wonderful return to the origins of Internet philosophy, PIR intends to feed back all the money it makes in profit from the sale of .org domains into funding and educating non-profit organisations about the Internet and websites and what uses the Web can be put to.

Think charities, schools and such like being given expert advice or subsidised courses on how to make the Web work for them. Bruce Beckwith was short on real details, talking of "putting together frameworks" and "defining thought processes" and other such nonsense, but the will and the intention is there.
