Chestnut Hill, or affectionately known as 'The Hill', is a grand, Federal-style house, one of the oldest buildings in Middleburg, Virginia. Constructed in the mid-18th century, it stands proudly on the National Register of Historic Places, individually listed due to its remarkable historical significance. Initially isolated as a result of the limited development in the late 19th century, and devoid of the Victorian architecture prevalent in the district, Chestnut Hill remains an astounding testament to Middleburg's rich history.
As you meander through the district, you'll be hard-pressed not to notice the presence of four churches, a handful of 20th-century commercial structures, but Chestnut Hill, with its grand but inviting allure, remains the shining jewel of this particular crown. To this day, the district preserves its historical character – a remarkable act of dedication and respect to the town's historical legacy.
