House & Garden 
Tebbs 
The house is 
clearly Georgian 
as the Georgian 
style was devel¬ 
oped in Virginia. 
Large keystones, 
flat top dormers 
and immense 
chimneys are all 
typical of Vir¬ 
ginia. Arches and 
band courses are 
of red pressed 
brick and the 
wall surfaces of 
multi - colored 
old-fashioned 
brick 
Examples of sim¬ 
ilar doorways 
exist at Shirley, 
York Hall and 
other old Vir¬ 
ginia places, 
which almost in¬ 
variably had 
doors of solid 
paneling without 
any lights or 
glass. This pan¬ 
eling is blue 
green. The same 
color is used on 
the shutters 
Window trim is 
mauve gray
