Mirador is a historic home located near Greenwood, Albemarle County, Virginia. It was built in 1842 for James M. Bowen (1793–1880), and is a two-story, brick structure on a raised basement in the Federal style. It has a deck-on-hip roof capped by a Chinese Chippendale railing. The front facade features a portico with paired Tuscan order columns. The house was renovated in the 1920s by noted New York architect William Adams Delano (1874–1960), who transformed the house into a Georgian Revival mansion. Mirador is surrounded by extensive landscaped grounds that include a sunken lawn and a walk bordered by serpentine brick walls. Near the main house is an antebellum period brick kitchen-like dependency and an antebellum period frame smokehouse, an antebellum two-story brick and frame dwelling known as the Corner House, and a brick Colonial Revival stable dating to about 1910. Beyond the house are the farm buildings built in the 1920s including a Colonial Revival dairy barn complex arranged around a cobblestone courtyard, a brick farm manager's house, a concrete block tenant house, two lakes, and the Sam Black Tavern, a log building built ca.1769 and moved to the property from the neighboring Seven Oaks Farm. Mirador was the childhood home of Nancy Langhorne Astor, who was born in Danville, Virginia. Her father Chiswell Langhorne's finances were decimated by the American Civil War, but he later made a fortune in the tobacco business and railroads and was able to purchase Mirador. Nancy Langhorne, later Lady Astor, lived at the home from 1892 to 1897, and her sister Irene, later the wife of artist Charles Dana Gibson and a model for the Gibson Girl, also spent part of her youth at the estate. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. (en) |
