Point of Honor is one of Central Virginia's most remarkable architectural landmarks, combining fine craftsmanship with the Adam-style designs by Owen Biddle of Philadelphia and England's William Paine.
Legends of duels fought for honor, in the mists of time long past, gave this remarkable virginia landmark its name. Completed in 1865 by Dr. Gearge Cabell Sr., his sophisticated Federal style mansion features matched polygonal bays, flanking doorways with arched fanlights, reflecting the era's fondness for shapes beyond simple rectangles or squares.
