Rock Cliff

“In the past century, the following houses (at least in the Cabell land grants) have fallen down, burned down, or been removed: Liberty Hall, Edgewood, Colleton, Red Gables, Green Hill, Montevideo, Yellow Gravel, Union Hill and Traveler’s Rest (now in the final stages of decay.) Rock Cliff is the only frame house that has been in the family continuously and survived.”

– Andrew Gantt, II, the present owner of Rock Cliff, as quoted by Archer Minardi.
