Kenmore Plantation
Description
Located on Washington Avenue.
"Built by George Washington's sister, Betty Washington Lewis and her husband Fielding Lewis, this beautiful, Georgian-style mansion reflects the pre-Revolutionary War wealth and status of the Fredericksburg merchant. Lewis lost his fortune due to his patriotic support of the war but the house he built remains. The elegant exterior is complemented by vibrant interior spaces with colorful paint and wallpaper and decorative plasterwork ceilings."
