Plantation Houses: Virginia

The subset of this subcategory's Plantation Houses group whose own recorded location places the plantation house in Virginia, the single state accounting for the largest share of this subcategory's plantation houses, reflecting the density of surviving tidewater and piedmont colonial and antebellum estates documented in the source record this atlas draws from. Grouping Virginia's plantation houses on their own, distinct from every other state's, keeps a reader oriented to a specific regional plantation economy and architectural tradition without folding well over a hundred Virginia estates into one undivided list alongside every other state's plantation houses.
