Description

Illustrated here are handsome mansions, imposing courthouses, towering churches, giant flour mills, extravagant hotels, wooden grist mills, covered bridges, and humble cottages and outbuildings -- more than 300 structures lost to fire or demolition. A treasure trove of unique buildings, Lost Virginia underscores the importance of efforts to preserve other riches in Virginia's architectural heritage.
