James Monroe – Price Undetermined, Oak Hill

Here are photos of the front view of James Monroe’s house in Oak Hill in 1915. It’s in a section of Loudoun County that is not incorporated. Monroe, the US’s fifth president gave a fair amount of money to purchase the 4,400-acre land space that the house sits on from Colonel Charles Carter. The Oak Hill property is actually a plantation and mansion and Monroe lived there for twenty-two years. In 2004, the house became an addition in the Virginia landmarks registry. So it’s a National Historic Landmark but is privately owned and closed to the public.
