Gapland once glorious seat of Gath falls to ruins
The article recalls Gapland in Washington County, once home to Townsend known as Gath, a lavish mountain country estate with 3000 feet of stone walls and grand halls. Now decayed, with empty rooms, toppled furniture, and a wildlife hush, it stands for sale by Townsend’s daughter Bona Venture, a costly restoration looming. Nearby landmarks and Civil War memories frame a somber muse.
