Bellevue

The Bellevue building features a two-story brick structure with a pedimented portico, wide bracketed eaves, and symmetrical architectural elements across its facade.

Built in 1859, the property includes an antebellum log slave house, tenant houses, and multiple agricultural structures spread across 145 acres of Virginia countryside.

The architecture combines Greek Revival elements with Italianate details, reflecting the prevailing design preferences of wealthy Virginia landowners during the mid-19th century.

Visitors can find Bellevue 3,500 feet west of the junction between Virginia routes 692 and 637, with advance arrangements required for property access.

The property contains an underground chamber positioned on the north side of the garden terraces, adding to its structural distinctiveness.
