Swannanoa Mansion - a photo on Flickriver

Swannanoa Mansion

            This creation is a replica of Swannanoa Mansion. It is an Italianate marble mansion sitting high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains in Afton, Virginia. Major James Dooley, an executive with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, completed construction of the $2 million Swannanoa in 1912. Dooley, who owned the Maymont estate in Richmond, built this 52-room, 23,000 square foot marble palace as a summer home and as a token of love for his wife, Sally May. More than 300 artisans were hired to create the palace as a replica of the Villa de Medici in Rome. Visitors today can still see the depth of James and Sally May’s relationship in places like the 4,000-piece Tiffany stained-glass window and a domed ceiling bearing the likeness of Mrs. Dooley. This is a 25 square foot creation.
