York Hall/Nelson House

Yorktown, VA - York Hall/Nelson House is huge, three story, 1730, solidly built, brick home. This grand home is a stellar example of a home built in the Georgian style, which was named in honor of "four British kings named George, who reigned from 1714 to 1830." York Hall/Nelson House has a "simple, balanced appearance," giving an impression of "order and stability." It has the typical triangular pediment above the front door and the cornice, where one can see a cannon ball from the Revolutionary War decoratively sticking into the bricks! One can see the decorative molding, under the eaves of the roof, reflecting ancient Greece and Rome decor influences. Most of the Nelson House is made of the original materials, including the bricks and most of the mortar in the outer walls. Inside the house, the wall panels and most of the wooden floors are also original.
This stunning townhouse has a lovely garden reminiscent of an English garden from their old country.
