Shady Grove, two miles east, was built in 1825 by Dr. George Cabell of Point of Honor in Lynchburg for his daughter Paulina and her husband Alexander Spotswood Henry, son of Patrick Henry. It is a handsomely proportioned and detailed Federal farmhouse constructed on a raised basement and contains highly sophisticated and academic architectural embellishments by country craftsmen. The interior features an elaborate carved mantel based on one at Point of Honor, Paulina Henry's childhood home. Across the road, the family cemetery contains the Henry family graves.
