Abstract:

The house at Berry Hill plantation is a fine example of Greek Revival architecture in Virginia, and the classical tradition that dominated architecture in the South during the antebellum period. James C. Bruce, a wealthy financier and tobacco planter, deliberately designed the house in ways which displayed his wealth and power.
