speedwellhouse.jpg1080 viewsI know nothing about the house in this photograph, but it is obviously historic (I've been seeing this majestic old home all of my life, and I'm historic!) and it finally appears to be somewhat restored. It is located in Speedwell, Wythe Co. VA. Courtesy of David Arnold david.arnold@ardelphia.net. Adam Linkous linkous_adam@yahoo.com writes that this was the old Patton Plantation and is now called Hornwolf.
