K67 Fotheringay
Fotheringay was the home of George Hancock (1754-1820),
a colonel in the Virginia Line during the Revolutionary War and
aide-de-camp to Count Casimir Pulaski.
He later served in both the Virginia House of Delegates
and in the U.S. Congress, and was the father-in-law of explorer William Clark.
Fotheringay, an elegant expression of the Federal style, was built around 1796 with
a steep mountain as a dramatic backdrop.
Fotheringay's interior woodwork, particularly its chimneypieces and doorways, features
delivately carved motifs copied from the pattern books of English architect William Pain.
