The Solarium

a climate-controlled conservatory with views of our rolling 55 acres

​

• If you look through the Solarium windows, you will be able to see some fascinating attention to detail. You can observe the hand-chipped ROOF SLATES and the "wavy" BRICK patterns. Both of these techniques were used to make the building feel and look older than it is.

​

• The TILE you are standing on was custom-made for Dover Hall. It was sourced and designed to be a reproduction of Neo-Victorian ceramic tile.

​

• The enclosed GARDEN space directly below you is often called our "Secret Garden". The walls are handcrafted from reclaimed stone sourced at an old farmhouse in Cumberland, VA.
