[1] The house was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1934 and the ruins were later featured in the 1993 book Silent in the Land.

[2] For the May 1999 issue of Vanity Fair magazine, Annie Leibovitz did a photo shoot of Natalie Portman at the ruins on February 7, 1999.

[3] Dicksonia was originally a two-story house with a small one-story portico in front, built in 1830 by David White.

The front porch was removed and a monumental two-story portico extending around two sides of the house was added, supported by twelve fluted Doric columns.

On November 29, 1901, the house and 400 acres (1.6 km2) of land was sold to Robert Stiles Dickson, who named the mansion Dicksonia.

The current owner, Dorothy Dickson Skipper, has made significant improvements to the grounds and visibility of the building proper.
