None of the original masonry or concrete foundation could be moved with the house. That was all left and replaced when the home was rebuilt in its new location on the grounds of Woodlawn Plantation near Mount Vernon, Virginia. Since the walls and roof were relatively flat, they were transported on a flatbed truck to the new location. www.peterbeers.net/interests/flw_rt/Virginia/Pope_Leighey...‹›
