Abstract:

Rosewell was the eighteenth century mansion of the Page family in Virginia, but only its ruins remain today. Continuing studies provide insight into the ceremonial and ritualistic workings of Rosewell. Although specific knowledge about Rosewell’s interior is scant, conclusions can be made about the family and their perceptions of themselves through the house’s overall design and furnishings.
