Gay Mont

Gaymont, or Gay Mont, is a historic home located at Port Royal, Caroline County, Virginia. Originally called "Rose Hill", the central section of the house was built about 1790 by John Hipkins as a two-story frame structure with a gable roof and two exterior end chimneys. His grandson and heir, John Hipkins Bernard, renamed the house in honor of his wife, Jane Gay Bolling Robertson, a descendant of Pocahontas. It was enlarged in 1819 with the addition of flanking one-story stuccoed brick wings and a one-story colonnade of stuccoed brick Tuscan columns. In 1834 a one-story octagonal music room was added and in 1839 an octagonal library and office at the ends of each wing. The house remained in the Bernard-Robb family until 1958 when it was briefly owned by C. H. Martin who died 3 months after purchasing these estate.
In June 1959, a fire of unknown origin destroyed the frame center section and octagonal music room. Undaunted, the great-granddaughter of John Hipkins Bernard, Frances Bernard Robb Upton Patton, repurchased the property and, together with her husband James S. Patton, rebuilt the house and restored the garden along their original lines. This time, the center section was built as a stuccoed masonry structure and the music room foundation left as a patio. Also on the property is a contributing early brick outbuilding, probably the original kitchen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Gay Mont ) and (''Accompanying photo'' )〕
The Patton's donated the house, contents, and land to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities in 1975 with life tenancy for the donors. In 2007, APVA took ownership and subsequently sold it to John and Billings Cay of Charleston, SC who began a multi-million dollar renovation of the house, including rebuilding the octagonal music room. They renamed the property "Rose Hill" as it was originally.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.〔
