Belle Grove Plantation is a historic estate located in Middletown, Virginia. It was built in the late 1700s by Major Isaac Hite Jr. and his wife Nelly Madison Hite, sister of President James Madison. The house was designed in the Georgian style and features a spacious central hall, formal parlor and dining room, and six bedrooms. It also has several outbuildings, including a smokehouse, icehouse, and slave quarters.

During the Civil War, Belle Grove served as a Union headquarters and hospital. The property was later owned by the McCormick family, who made significant renovations to the house and grounds. Today, Belle Grove Plantation is open to the public for tours and events. Visitors can explore the house and learn about its history, as well as stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds. The plantation also hosts special events throughout the year, including a holiday candlelight tour and a summer music festival. Belle Grove Plantation is a significant landmark in Virginia's history and a popular destination for history buffs and tourists alike.

A Victorian Front Royal Home This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work.

This home is located at 227 South Royal Avenue in Front Royal, Warren County, Virginia. Built circa 1885, the structure is described as Late Victorian in style. The front façade displays a cross gable construction with a metal roof and a singular corbelled chimney. The 3-bay front façade contains a porch with turned balusters and some elaborate ornamental bracketing on the square wooden columns supporting the porch roof. The photo (2010) is of a trim, maintained home; but Google maps street view (2022) sadly shows the building in a deteriorating condition.

The residence is part of the Front Royal Historic District; the National Register nomination form can be found at <a href="https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/VLR_to_transfer/PDFNoms/112-0055_FrontRoyalHD_2003_nomination_final.pdf" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.dhr.virginia.gov/VLR_to_transfer/PDFNoms/112-0055_Fro...</a> I wish the form had more details than it does. The district was listed on the National Register April 11m 2003 with reference number 03000209.
