Mr.R.D. Prescott,
AT “SHIRLEY” ON THE JAMES RIVER.
"Shirley" is a typical manor house of the middle Colonial
period, two and a half stories in height, with walls from three
to four feet thick. It is the ancestral home of the Carters who
still live there, and it antedates the other James River mansions,
since the tomb of one ancestor gives the date of his death as
Nov. 30, 1700, aged 63. There is a fine art gallery containing
the portraits of Virginians from the first generation to the
present.
