Totomoi, Historic plantation in Hanover County, United States.
Description
Totomoi is a brick plantation house in Hanover County featuring original side porches with scalloped details and a two-level entrance porch. Two prominent chimneys frame the rear of the structure, which was expanded with single-story wings over several decades.
History
The main brick house was built in 1800 and received additions in the early and mid-1800s. These construction phases reflect how the property expanded during the first half of the 19th century.
