Built in the 'big house, little house' style unique to the Eastern Shore the three original sections date from about 1800, and feature heart pine floors, birds-eye-maple balusters, high ceilings and four working fireplaces. Additions in 1940, 1961, and 1972 continued the Eastern Shore style architecture until the house stretches over one hundred feet and has five roof levels. Come visit and enjoy the magnificent views from our dock from sunrise to sunset. Bay View was a featured Rural Retreat in Rural Living magazine, a highlighted B & B accessible by water in Chesapeake Bay Magazine, and the subject of Home Suite Home Away from Home in the Norfolk Virginian Pilot. |
