Henry Coalter Cabell House is a historic home located in Richmond, Virginia. Its name reflects prominent Richmond attorney and Confederate officer Henry Coalter Cabell, who rented the elegant house for many years.[3]
Henry Coalter Cabell
The son of former Virginia governor
Following the conflict, Cabell was financially embarrassed . However, he resumed his law partnership with his brother in law William Daniel, formerly a judge of the Virginia Supreme Court. On January 11, 1884 his wife died after her clothing caught fire in this home, so Cabell moved to rooms at the Saint Claire Hotel in Richmond, where he died and was buried at historic Hollywood cemetery.[3]
Architecture
It was built in 1847, and was originally built as a two-story, L-shaped Greek Revival style brick dwelling. It was subsequently added to throughout the 19th century. It consists of a large central section with two-story portico, flanked by two smaller wings. The house features a portico supported by four columns with "Egyptian" lotus flower capitals. It was the home of Henry Coalter Cabell, son of Governor William H. Cabell, and a Confederate veteran and leading member of the Richmond Bar.[4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
