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.
