Preservation Work Begins On
Historic Governor's Mansion At Morven Park

Preservation Project Photos

The historical landmark mansion at Morven Park is undergoing an extensive and much-needed multi-year conservation and preservation effort. Tidewater Preservation of Fredericksburg, Virginia will remove the stucco exterior to determine the original types of construction materials used as the home was expanded multiple times over the 18th and 19th centuries. Tidewater is repairing and stabilizing the structure, replacing the roof, repairing the chimneys, and applying a new stucco surface. A grant received from the Loudoun Restoration and Preservation Society helped fund conservation work on the mansion's nine chimneys.

Visitors to Morven Park will be able to see the work in progress over the next several years as we work to conserve the home of former Virginia Governor Westmoreland Davis for generations to enjoy.
