Situated on one of the six historic properties in Scottsville, Chester and its seven-acre setting evokes a feeling of serenity and charm for all those who visit. As you approach, the first sight of the white wooden fence says you are here. Skirting the fence, you get your first views of the grounds and the original Greek Revival style Manor House.
