Oak Hill in Annandale, Virginia is a Georgian style home built in 1790. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.〔 It was extensively renovated in the 1930s and is significant for its architecture after that renovation. ==History== From ''The Washington Post'': The house was one of three mansions built during the 18th century on Fitzhugh's enormous Ravensworth estate, named for a family estate in England. The tract was the largest single landholding in the history of what would become Fairfax County in 1792. It stretched from Fairfax City to Springfield and Falls Church, and south to Pohick Church.... On the night of November 5, 1861, a shootout occurred at Oak Hill between members of the units later involved in the Bog Wallow Ambush, in an area of much probing and patrolling between Union and Confederate forces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=braddockheritage.org/ – Oak Hill: Civil War Skirmish )〕 All three of the Fitzhugh estates were protected by orders from both sides throughout the war.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Annandale )〕 David and Amanda Scheetz purchased the home in 2008, after a foreclosure, for $1.15 million. The home is open to tours periodically.〔("Private Historic Home Opens For Infrequent Public Visitation" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oak Hill (Annandale, Virginia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
