Mirador, Federal mansion in Greenwood, United States

The Mirador estate features a two-story brick structure with a deck-on-hip roof and a portico supported by paired Tuscan columns.

Built in 1842 for James M. Bowen, the mansion underwent substantial renovations in the 1920s by architect William Adams Delano to become a Georgian Revival residence.

Nancy Langhorne Astor, who spent her childhood at Mirador from 1892 to 1897, later became the first woman member of the British Parliament.

The property extends across 141 acres at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and includes multiple preserved outbuildings from different historical periods.

The estate contains Sam Black's Tavern, a log structure from 1769 where Thomas Jefferson stopped eleven times between 1768 and 1772.
