Summary "Huntley: A Mason Family Country House" by Tony P. Wrenn is a historical account written in the early 1970s. The work delves into the rich history and architectural significance of Huntley, a country house associated with the prominent Mason family in Virginia. It explores the lives of significant characters like Thomson Francis Mason, as well as the architectural details and evolution of this noteworthy estate. The opening of the book introduces readers to the historical significance of Huntley, establishing it as a hidden architectural gem that has largely escaped historical documentation despite its connection to the notable Mason family. Wrenn discusses the initial discovery of Huntley and the curiosity it inspired among local historians, leading to a detailed analysis of its history, architectural features, and the various owners it has had over the years. The author aims to piece together a narrative that combines architectural research with family history, showcasing the journey of the estate and its place within the broader context of Virginia's historical landscape.
