Liberty Hall, Federal-style residence in Forest, Virginia.
Liberty Hall features thick brick walls measuring 15 inches, a modillion cornice, and a gable roof on a 5.2-acre property in central Virginia.
Built in 1778, Liberty Hall hosted two future presidents, Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley, during their Civil War service in Virginia.
The property connects to educational heritage through Robert Alexander, who founded Augusta Academy, which later became Washington and Lee University.
The National Register of Historic Places listing provides potential access to rehabilitation tax credits while maintaining private ownership rights.
Originally named Solitary Hall, the residence survived the widespread burning of properties in Forest during the 1800s Civil War period.
