Wirtland, Gothic Revival house in Westmoreland County, United States.
Wirtland is a Gothic Revival house in Westmoreland County that features a stucco exterior and cross-shaped floor plan. Multiple porches surround the structure, with a central chimney and landscaped grounds extending across the property.
William Wirt Jr built the house in 1850 as a private residence reflecting the architectural trends of mid-19th century Virginia. From 1899 to 1918 it served as a women's boarding school before changing ownership.
The interior displays decorative plasterwork and marble fireplaces that reflect the tastes of its era. The two-story spiral staircase stands out as a notable architectural feature visitors encounter while exploring the home.
The property covers considerable land with landscaped gardens that give visitors room to explore at their own pace. The combination of the house and grounds means comfortable footwear is recommended for a thorough visit.
The gardens have been maintained by a local nursery since the 1960s and preserve a Victorian design scheme. This ongoing commitment to garden care sets the estate apart from similar historic houses in the region.
