High ceilings, sunny rooms, a center hall and staircase, wide pine floors, ornate architraves and hand-painted stencil borders in the parlor and an upper bedroom denote the elegance of Andrew Johnston's "country home estate."In 1993, the Andrew Johnston House was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
