Maria Randolph
Mansion c. 1795 |
|
Standing tall and proud since the time when George
Washington was President, the c. 1795 Maria Randolph Mansion is an
absolutely stunning Southern historic gem of Grace and Elegance. Large
proportioned rooms are flooded with natural light (including the Grand
Hall/Ballroom) and pleasing architectural details are endless from
imported 1800s Italian Marble mantles, Crystal chandeliers and thick
walls of original horsehair plaster to 18" crown moldings, original
rimlocks, massive windows and wonderful wood floors; even a trap door
in the second story floorboards intrigues one as many tales are told
of those gaining safety by hiding in the secret space.... IF only
walls could talk!
Built in 1795, the home originally faced north across a meadow toward the Old Augusta Highway until Miss Maria Randolph, a descendant of Pocahontas, purchased the home in 1824. She brought life to the home, being the hostess well loved and known for big parties, galas and dances, she transformed the home into a showplace adding a Grand Hall/Ballroom which became the largest entertainment space in town during that period. Main Street was extended from the Town Square beyond her home shortly after Maria moved in so she would have it no other way than to have her home face Main Street thus adding the portico that reoriented the house to face south and Main Street. The home today continues to flow for ultimate ease in entertaining with parlors and multiple common area rooms that empty into Maria's Grand Hall/Ballroom with its two, tall carved mantled fireplaces and crystal chandelier. |
