Featured Location

Dunnington Mansion

Forsaken Beauty: Vintage and deserted. An abandoned, Victorian Mansion ideal for that unique artistic eye to showcase an extra-ordinary beauty. This 8500 square foot home offers 3 floors including the attic (stunning). The original 19th century conservatory or orangery is still standing and is an extremely rare find!! Over 90% of these personal greenhouses from that era no longer exist! This truly is a one-of-a-kind location! The property itself is abandoned, but it is located just minutes from Longwood University and Hampden-Sydney College and all the amenities of a college town. Proceeds go to The Dunnington Mansion Foundation, a registered 501c3 nonprofit for the purposes of rehabilitating the structure so it is not lost to time.
