Hawkwood, Renaissance Revival villa in Louisa County, Virginia, United States.
The Hawkwood villa features a two-story pavilion with single-story wings, crowned by a three-story tower with a hipped roof design.
Alexander Jackson Davis designed this Italian-style residence in 1851 for Richard Overton Morris, completing the construction in 1855 on a 404-acre property.
The building stands as one of two unmodified Davis designs in Italian Villa style, displaying an octagonal main entry hall with minimalist interior details.
Located south of Gordonsville along U.S. Route 15, the property received National Register of Historic Places designation in September 1970 under reference 70000809.
A fire in 1982 severely damaged the structure, leaving only the exterior walls and tower standing, yet the building maintains its architectural distinction.
