Buildings

  • Anglia House, a small, yeoman farmer dwelling in Prince Edward County, Virginia, is constructed by William Anglia. This "low" style, two story, colonial clapboard structure is typically symmetrical except for the off-center main door. The building remains untouched and little used during two centuries of life in the middle of a vast farm. In 1991 the much deteriorated but intact dwelling is painstakingly moved 26 miles and relocated to Farmville, Virginia, where it is reconstructed to its original state by Elizabeth Baldwin Taylor and Robert E. Taylor.
