Mountain Glen

Mountain Glen is a two-story frame house with a full-width front porch and central passage layout. The building sits on about 2.5 acres and originally served both residential and agricultural purposes.

The house was built in the 1850s by architect John Lock. It received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in January 1991.

The house displays building elements that reflect how rural homes evolved in Virginia over time. The architecture combines different regional styles that were typical for countryside communities during that era.

The property sits about one mile southeast of Ceres in Bland County. Since this is a private property in a rural area, visitor access may be limited and it is best to check ahead before planning a visit.

The building combines architectural elements added across different time periods from 1850 through 1949. These layers show how the owners modified and updated their home over approximately a century.
