What happened to this property! Why was house demolished?
ReplyDeleteI will drive by later today. I was not aware of any change to its status. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHouse is still there as of December 11, 2011. It was looking good!
ReplyDeleteHello. I lived in the old house for nearly 12 years. It is a treasure. I am very glad that Fairfax County and The City of Fairfax did not allow the developer to tear down the house. It dates back to before the Civil War and was occupied by Union Soliders during the war.
ReplyDeleteThe boxwood gardens are quite old but in poor condition. I am hopeful the community will replace the gardens with a locally tolerant variety of boxwood when the times come. We don't own that portion of the property. It is a conservancy. Better on our taxes!
