Originally built in 1755, the Avoca home suffered two devastating fires and three reconstructions.
Now the current one hundred year old home is on the National Register of Historic Places, is a Virginia Historic Landmark and serves as a museum in Alta Vista.
Today we take you on a tour through the Avoca home... passed down through many generations of the Lynch family.

((THIS HOUSE SITE WAS SETTLED IN 1755 BY COLONEL CHARLES LYNCH. HE GAINED FAME LATER ON IN HISTORY THROUGH THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, HE WAS A SOLDIER AND A STATESMAN DURING THE WAR.
[IN Q=This house site]
[RUNS= 10]
[OUT Q=during the war.]
Avoca was a five thousand acre plantation based on tobacco crops... in 1879 the home burned down and then again in 1900.
The current house you see here was built in 1901 by Lynch family descendants... Mary and Thomas Fauntleroy... in the Victorian Queen Anne style.
(///// SOT /////)
[SOT 4:03:52-4:04:16]
THIS SITE IS A SIGNIFICANT HISTORIC SITE PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE CONNECTION WITH COLONEL LYNCH. HE WAS AN ORIGINAL SENATOR FOR THE STATE OF VIRGINIA, A REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER AND HERO, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE VERY IMPORTANT, AND ALSO BECAUSE IT WAS AN OPERATING, LARGE, VERY PROSPEROUS PLANTATION FROM THE 1700'S ALL THE WAY TO THE CIVIL WAR.
[IN Q=This site is]
[RUNS= 24]
[OUT Q=the civil War.]
The extravagant home shows the significant wealth of the Fauntleroy family for the time period. The owners even went so far as to build a balistrade on the staircase just so their dog would have a special sleeping spot! Back in the 1900's, more than 60 servants worked on the plantation and in the eight bedroom home.

In the 1990's, Avoca underwent renovations due to its dilapidated condition including new carpeting, wallpaper and window dressings... but all design elements had to be historically accurate and true to the Victorian period. However some things never changed.
