Nomination Form
Constructed around 1791, Green Hill is one of the few 18th-century Georgian/Federal-style houses remaining in the city of Virginia Beach, the former Princess Anne County. Built by the Lovetts, a prominent founding family of the county, the original portion of the dwelling uses the “hall-and-parlor” plan, a once common house form in the Tidewater region. Green Hill was expanded in 1954 by leading regional architect Finlay Ferguson, Jr.
