Mount Airy, Colonial plantation in Warsaw, Virginia, United States.
The stone masonry mansion features a two-story center block with flanking dependencies connected by covered passages on a five-part architectural plan.
Colonel John Tayloe II constructed Mount Airy in 1764, creating the first neo-Palladian villa mid-Georgian plantation house in the United States.
The estate contains the burial grounds of Francis Lightfoot Lee, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, along with multiple generations of Tayloe family members.
The property continues as a private residence under Tayloe family descendants, maintaining sustainable gardens that produce flowers and vegetables for various events.
Mount Airy served as headquarters for multiple interdependent plantations along the Rappahannock River, managing approximately 60,000 acres before the Civil War.
