Completed in 1824 by noted Lexington builder-architects John Jordan
and Samuel Darst (as Darst's residence), Beaumont sits aligned with
three other classically inspired homes on Lee Avenue. Described in
The Architecture of Historic Lexington as "The most Classical of the
Lee Avenue Group", the home is distinguished by its "Templelike
pediment over a columned and barrel vaulted Roman order porch".
Paired columns, two stories in height, form the Classical
entranceway to Beaumont. The original floor plan including the main
entrance hall and eight rooms, has been meticulously restored and
updated during the past ten years by its present owners. Beaumont
has been on the Virginia Historic Garden Tour numerous times. |
