The massive 53,000 square foot Greek Revival Mansion was designed by architect, Henry Howard, and built in 1859 by enslaved laborers for John Hampden Randolph. At the time of its construction, it was the largest mansion in the South with 64 rooms, 200 windows, and 165 doors.
Construction of Nottoway was completed at an estimated cost of $80,000 and following the build, Randolph destroyed the architect’s plans to prevent any duplicate homes from being built.
