DATE: 02012024; Off of Anna’s Lane set back from the road, is “Hunting Hill” that was built by Richard Brown, a recent Quaker arrival from Pennsylvania who constructed this classic stone Loudoun home in 1737. Its “cat slide” roof was common in Virginia before the American Revolution and there once were multiple examples around. But this one is has survived to become Loudoun’s oldest building. Notice how understated it is! For many years in the mid-20th century it was the home of “Miss Anna” Hedrick, Virginia’s first female attorney. Builder Richard Brown went on to construct a mill across the road along the creek. Taylorstown holds two of the oldest standing houses in Loudoun County. (Photo by Douglas Graham)
