Fort Philip Long, 18th-century fort complex in Stanley, Virginia
The limestone structure features a gable roof, massive exterior asymmetrical stone chimney, and walls with loopholes forming a tall barrel vault.
Built for Philip Long II, grandson of Philip Long who settled the area in 1737, this fort protected families in Page County's Massanutten region.
The 1856 brick farmhouse parlor displays original Victorian wall paintings that replicate the appearance of molded plaster and decorative ceilings.
The property spans 900 acres along the Shenandoah River and contains both the original fort structure and an 1856 three-bay square house.
Two cellar levels connect through a tunnel to a well positioned 100 yards from the main structure, demonstrating advanced construction methods.
