Melrose, Gothic Revival mansion in Casanova, United States.
The limestone mansion features a three-story octagonal tower in the center bay and stone battlements along the parapet walls extending across the structure.
Built between 1856 and 1860, Melrose served as a Federal troops hospital during the Civil War before changing ownership in December 1863.
The architectural design by Edmund George Lind represents the mid-19th century Gothic Revival style influenced by medieval European castles and structures.
Located north of Casanova on VA 602, the private residence sits on 24 acres of land and received National Register of Historic Places status in 1983.
The mansion's architecture inspired author Mary Roberts Rinehart to write her first successful novel, The Circular Staircase, published in 1908.
