History of "Level- fields" ~ The manor house is the second homestead to be erected on this site. It was built for Thomas Sanford Dunaway in 1857-58, at which time it was the center of a plantation of over 1,200 acres, and has been an architectural landmark since before the War between the States.
Characterized by an impressive double-tiered portico on the South front and massive chimneys, Levelfields is one of the last Ante-bellum mansions to be built in the Commonwealth and represents the final expression of the authentic hip-roofed Georgian colonial style.
Today at the Inn ~ The Inn is at the end of an entrance drive of over a thousand feet in length. The walk leading to the main entrance lies between hedges of ancient English Boxwood. The grounds consist of 54 acres, comprised of woods and lawn. There
is also a large swimming pool for the
enjoyment of guests.
