Walnut Hill (Lynchburg, Virginia)

The oldest section is a log dwelling with an internal gable-end stone chimney and is now the south wing.

Before 1820, a two-room-plan frame addition was built onto the north end of the log dwelling; this became the main or front section of the house.

Both the exposed stonework, fireplace, and the arch are painted white and framed by a Georgian architrave mantel.

The rectangular cemetery is surrounded by a rough stone wall and sits on a steep-sided ridge above the house.

The style of the 18th-century headstones seems more like what is found in North Carolina cemeteries than those of similar date in Virginia.
