This is the last post on Chatham. I don't have many more photos to share from here. This seemed to be the back of the house but it was made to be the front entrance. At one time there was a two-story Greek revival porch, but it was removed. Now only the outline is visible. You can read about its history here. Also, if you would like to take a look on all my posts on Chatham Manor, you can click on the label at the bottom of this one entitled ‘Chatham_Manor_Fredericksburg_Va’. 
The house was built in the Georgian style somewhere between 1768 and 1771 according to the website, by William Fitzhugh, who was born in 1741. You can see the original owners in the portraits I took photos of below.
William and his wife Ann Randolph.
We walked around part of the 12,000 square-foot house, but I didn't take many photos. There are a total of ten rooms and only five were available for viewing by the general public. We saw portraits, information signs, some period furniture and a stone column from the original house. The upstairs is closed though some rooms are used for park offices. This is another place we would like to go back to.
One more painting and that was about it.
The gardens were lovely and the house was built overlooking the Rappahannock River. I enjoyed the smaller statues but I will show another view of this one.
One more painting and that was about it.
Diana, goddess of the hunt.
The building below used to be the old stables and is now the garage.
The crepe myrtles were everywhere.
and a reminder of the other flowers that were there.
I came across this ornate sundial, at least I think it is a sundial.
That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed our walk around Chatham Manor. Thank you for visiting and hope your day is a great one.
