Dabney-Scott-Adams House, 405 Cabell St Lynchburg, Lynchburg, VA
The Daniel`s Hill Historic District takes in the prow of a narrow, elongated hill bordered by the James River on the east and Blackwater Creek on the west. This hill has very steeply sloped sides and is located immediately to the northeast of the Lynchburg central business district which is clearly visible from many points of the district. Daniel`s Hill is one of seven hills surrounding the original core of downtown which were built up as residential areas in the 19th century. The district incorporates some twentyone blocks or fractions thereof, generally following a grid plan, in which are located approximately 180 buildings, virtually all houses. The architecture of the district ranges in date from the early 19th century through the early 20th century with few buildings dating from the last four decades. Styles range from the Federal to the Georgian Revival with a large quantity of urban vernacular dwellings. Stretched out along Cabell Street, the district`s only thoroughfare, is a series of outstanding, architecturally sophisticated mansions mostly dating from the last half of the 19th century. The Dabney-Scott-Adams House is a notable example of the Greek Revival style in the district.
