The Tuleyries[edit]

Re: The Tuleyries

Graham Furber Blandy (1868–1926), a nephew of Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, around 1905, acquired The Tuleyries, near White Post, Virginia, and adjacent lands totaling over 900 acres. Blandy hired Mantle Fielding to restore and improve the mansion. The greatest care was taken to preserve the original beauty of the place. Mosey, a former slave, worked for years repairing the stone walls. Upon Blandy's death, his widow, Georgette Haven Borland (maiden; 1886–1939) inherited part of the Tuleyries estate. The remainder of the estate was bequeathed to the University of Virginia for an experimental farm. (see Blandy Experimental Farm and the Virginia State Arboretum)

The Page Memorial Chapel was commissioned by descendants of Alanson Sumner Page (1825–1905) and Elsie A. Benson (maiden; 1835–1996). A stone structure, Fielding designed it in a Gothic Revival style. The interior windows were designed by Frederick Wilson (1858–1932), a lead designer of Tiffany Studios of New York City. It stands at the entrance of Riverside Cemetery. The cemetery, in 1993, was designated on the list of National Register of Historic Places.
