The Gardens and Grounds at Carr's Hill

The president of the University of Virginia makes his home at Carr's Hill. When it was being built from 1907 to 1909, the south lawn of Carr’s Hill was terraced to create a green sweep of grass and trees down to University avenue. In subsequent years, the gardens around the house have evolved to suit each president’s needs and tastes, while the front lawn retains its essential historic character.
