註釋The Tuleyries is the story of a grand estate and the Federal mansion which is its centerpiece. Through the almost two centuries it has stood gazing out to the Blue Ridge, The Tuleyries has been a landmark in Clarke County, Virginia, a considerable achievement given the number of competitors in the area. Architecturally unique in many ways, it bears careful study and that study will bring great pleasure. Two families have cherished and maintained The Tuleyries since its construction in the early 1830s by Joseph Tuley Jr. From him, it passed to his niece and remained in her family until 1903 when it was purchased by Graham Blandy, a wealthy New York broker who had a love for the house and the farm. Following his death, it passed to his wife, then her sister, then her sister's son, and most recently to his son and daughter. Their stories are equally intriguing.
