James Curtin - Mount Vernon - Post 1

I grew up in northern Virginia, and as I young child I visited Mount Vernon several times. As a local historic site I went there on school field trips and whenever my mother's family visited from out west and wanted to see the landmarks. The house is build in the Georgian style, as were many of the other important building in Northern Virginia. I must have thought all important homes looked something like this, and so to this day I prefer the Georgian and Federalist style homes.
