I recently discovered the purchase of Dunlora Mansion located in Ablemarle county VA is set to be demolished for development. This mansion has an extensive history first designed about 1730 and built for Dabney Carr it’s presence has been on this tract of land (originally 10,000 acres) sold down to 5,000 acres. It was passed down in the family to Colonel Samuel Carr then to William Dabney in 1846 later on to John Barclay Moon who was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates for several years whom is buried near the main house along with his wife and several other family. To my knowledge the main house was burnt down in 1916 and rebuilt with a newer design some architectural changes. Please help save this historical property and the other buildings on the property this is a priceless part of Charlottesville history! Thank you!
