The Ballroom

the heart of the home, a place for the original owners to "entertain 300 of their closest friends"

​​

• The centerpiece of the room remains the incredible 18-foot sandstone FIREPLACE MANTEL with life-sized lions that originated from a large estate off the coast of Scotland.

​

• From the wood-coffered ceilings hang wrought iron CHANDELIERS with a Gothic quatrefoil motif custom-manufactured in Floyd, Virginia, and specially designed for Dover Hall.

​

• The WALLS at either end are faux stone, hand-painted with plaster relief detail, each molded and applied individually.
