Fredericksburg 'WOW' House: 82-Year-Old Home Oozes History ICYMI

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Some 82 years ago, Dr. Philip Cox decided to built his version of a WOW house. It certainly stood out then, and as Relator.com will attest, it definitely stands out now. The completely restored home is just outside the Historic District and a short walk to downtown restaurants and shops.

Dr. Cox insisted on using among the finest materials availiable, including Flemish bond brick, a slate roof and copper gutters. Not only does it have two patios, it also includes a screened porch with a brick floor. The landscaping around the home is breathtaking.
