Morven

Morven features a two-story brick structure with a five-bay main block and three-bay wing, complemented by a pedimented gable roof porch.

The property, constructed around 1821, encompasses 640 acres and includes original structures such as a frame smokehouse and an administrative office.

The architectural elements, including four Tuscan columns and an entablature, represent the building methods and design preferences of early 19th-century Virginia.

The property sits west of Simeon off VA 20 at coordinates 37°57′48″N 78°28′26″W, within a rural environment of Albemarle County.

The structure combines brick construction techniques with classical architectural elements, forming a substantial residence that earned recognition in 1973.
