Belle Aire, Greek Revival residence in Greater Deyerle, Roanoke, United States.
Belle Aire mansion features a two-story pedimented portico supported by four fluted Doric columns and an L-shaped brick construction with corner pilasters.
Constructed in 1849 for Madison and Margeret Pitzer, the residence was positioned on a knoll overseeing 1,600 acres of land near the Roanoke River.
The architectural design draws inspiration from Asher Benjamin's 1830 publication 'The Practical House Carpenter', reflecting New England building traditions.
The property spans 8 acres and maintains its residential function despite surrounding development of single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s.
The mansion received recognition as a Virginia Historic Landmark in 1966 and joined the National Register of Historic Places in April 1975.
