Avenel, Greek Revival house in Bedford, United States.
The Avenel mansion features a two-story brick structure with a hipped roof and a wraparound porch incorporating Federal and Greek Revival elements.
William M. Burwell, elected ten times to the Virginia House of Delegates, operated this 250-acre plantation with enslaved labor during the 19th century.
The property maintains a smokehouse, hen house, and frame barn, representing the architectural and agricultural practices of antebellum Virginia.
The National Register of Historic Places property opens for appointments and accommodates various events through the Avenel Foundation management.
Letitia M. Burwell, who inherited the house, authored two books including 'A Girl's Life in Virginia Before the War' documenting pre-Civil War experiences.
