Carter Glass House, National Historic Landmark in Lynchburg, Virginia.
The Carter Glass House features a red brick facade, a slate-covered hipped roof, and a portico supported by Ionic order columns at 605 Clay Street.
Built in 1827 for John Wills, the residence became home to Carter Glass in 1907, who served as United States Congressman, Senator, and Treasury Secretary.
The Federal-style architecture of the Carter Glass House represents the early nineteenth-century residential design preferences of Virginia's influential citizens.
The property functions as a parish hall for St. Paul's Church, with a broad lawn separating the two structures and limiting public access to specific occasions.
Carter Glass drafted legislation establishing the Federal Reserve System and the Glass-Steagall Act while residing in this house between 1907 and 1923.
