This monumental classical house has a two-story wraparound portico of Ionic columns and a unique cantilevered second-floor balcony floating behind the colonnade. A central pediment breaks the horizontal roofline, and windows have Eastlake lintels. Attorney Horace Chilton was a state attorney general and a U.S. senator. The house was reportedly designed by an unknown architect to recall Mary Chilton’s Virginia childhood home, accounting for the early use of the classical style.
