Glennmary - circa
1836 |
"A
National Preservation"
Placed on the National Register in 1979.
Glennmary, a rare find, rather than the more monumental plantation
style home, is erected on a portion of what was a sizeable
estate. Included with the manor home are 84+/- acres of
lush countryside. The grounds tastefully combine the
manor home, eight cabins, two large ponds and sculptures
of the present owner, world renowned artist and
auctioneer, Robert F. Cage. Mr. Cage has been
instrumental in the restoration of the manor house, and
the picturesque grounds and erection of the cabins.
Glennmary stands as one
of the more noteworthy expressions of Greek Revival
architecture in Southside Virginia. The spacious estate
at the end of a long drive off heavily traveled Route
58, the brick dwelling is a two and one-half story
covered by a gable roof. The south facade is dominated
by a handsome Greek Doric portico set on a recently
constructed brick podium. The portico shelters a
rectangular transom-light entry which retains its
original 9/9 hung-sash windows framed by simple wooden
architraves. Original louvered shutters flank the
windows on all elevations. Executed in very beautiful
Flemish bond, the brickwork retains its painted joints
and old red wash. A fenestration is similar to that
found on the main house with the exception of 6/6 hung
sash dormer windows found on the north and south
elevations.
The rear elevation is similar to the south with the
exclusion of the portico. The wing contains a rear
entrance framed by simple wooden trim. With the
exception of a side entrance, the east elevation remains
un-pierced.
