On May 10, ibe tween the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. the Rappahannock Garden Club invites you to spend a day in the homes and gardens of their county. . The, homes to be opened are:
“Kenmore”, home of Mrs. Alexander Gordon, contains many art treasures and ancestral pieces. It was built on the original tract owned by the first Basil Gordon.
“Rose Hill” is the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hall. We find here the ancient English boxwood, the trees, the flowers that grew in the garden of its first mistress, Mi%. William Armistead Lane. The splendidly built house of early Victorian architecture, was built by John Thomas Fletcher for his bride Louise Funsten. The restoration of both house and garden by its present owners, is most interesting.
“Springhouse Farm” (Locust Grove). This old home of the Brooke family has recently been restored by Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Smith. It is a charming old house with an interesting background.
“Millermeade’’ on Mt. Salem Avenue in the town of Washington, represents the charm of the new. A heritage of the past is here too in the chimney built of stones that once were a part of that first stone house of the first Henry Miller. From the lovely garden that surrounds this home we pass through a gate into another lovely garden, Mrs. Rayner Snead’s.
“Millbank”—Imagine a cottage with the hillside at its back and a sparkling mountain river at its front, while the flowers grow on the banks and ups the hillside and you have charming Millbank, home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Estes.
