The Tidewater Trail 



It has been said that at least one acre could be planted out from the 

 lily of the valley roots in this old garden. 



Seven generations of one family have lived under this hospitable 

 roof. More than one war has passed over it and left it still un- 

 scathed. The fires which wrought such havoc in the city of Nor- 

 folk seem to have respected both the age and dignity of "this 

 pleasant country seat on Broad Creek's flowing tide."
