Restoring Long Green: an 18th century house in Frederick County
The article describes the history and architecture of Long Green, an old residence once owned by the Bryarly and Purcell families in Shenandoah Valley. It notes two front doors, original stair location, 1825 date marks, pine walls, walnut sills, and large ovens in the kitchen area. The estate passes through Clark Purcell’s heirs and was tied to a charitable use before sale. The Headleys, lifelong restorers, plan a guided tour and an 18th century drawing room design class during a flower show and tea event at Macsfield set for Thursday.
