| Rappahannock County homes to the Virginia Landmarks Register.
[ At the time, almost 200 properties were surveyed by an
1 architectural history consulting firm. A “reconnaissance level" survey was done on 169
j properties, and 25 more received s “intensive" study. Of the 25, 17 were
| recommended for nomination to the Virginia register. Hopefully, the properties I surveyed since that time - as well i as others - will qualify for a j listing on the Virginia Landmark ■ ■■ Register, the National Register, or ! both.
