I have never been so fascinated by a home before. I thought it was old. It’s not- it was built in 2013. Located in Crozet, Virginia, “Treetops” is completely unique and I don’t know what to make of it. $698.5K. Look at this-

The entrance has a few different styles going on. Looks a little like a Pagoda, but there are some corbels and things.

You walk in the front door and find yourself face-to-face with this fireplace. (It has a small niche- not even large enough for that bust.) To the right is a gate to go downstairs, and on the left of the fireplace is a kitchen counter.

There are decorative columns in front of the kitchen and overhead, they’ve framed up some old cabinet doors.

This is the other side of the double-sided fireplace. The elevated hearth is larger on this side. Note the hands holding up the mantel.

It’s a little confusing- this must be the side of the fireplace. 

There are columns under the stairs and what appears to be a small chalkboard door.

Apparently, the fridge is in this column.

I would call this the living/dining area. Look at the unusual 2-toned ceiling.

Thru those 2 double doors-

Is a full bath. Seems like a weird place to put it.  There are 2 baths.

I don’t know what this is, but it has a forest of support beams.

Several different styles going up the stairs. The sticks in the railing don’t seem to fit, but okay.

So, up here we have a tub in a window.

Main bd.? There are 3 bds.

Then they take us down to the basement.

This is the garage w/a 2nd story studio.

The studio apt.

There’s a lovely round window in the bath. 

I don’t know if this a closet or a bd.

House is on 18.77 acres.

Paula Wanece Grasty Frazier passed away on Tuesday May 30, 2023, at home with her family by her side. Paula was born on August 25, 1928, in Charlottesville, Virginia. She was the daughter of the late Eula and Ernest Grasty of Crozet, Virginia.

Paula aka Wanece or "Nece" spent her early years running wild on her family orchards, there was one Cherry tree in particular that housed her on a regular basis. She left the mountain to go to Bob Jones University where she graduated with her B.S. in Education, years later receiving her Master's in Administration from U.V.A.

Paula married Robert Eugene Frazier and began the adventure of her life as a military wife. Their homes are too numerous to mention but the longest residences were Arizona, Germany, Nashville, Japan and finally back home to Charlottesville.

During all these travels she taught school, raised children, Robert Frazier II and his beloved wife, Sharon Frazier-Cotton, and Paula Gene Frazier Clark; loved and enjoyed her six grandchildren, Robert Eugene Frazier III, Loman Alexander Frazier, Paula Olivia Clark, Bianca Wanece Clark, Joseph Nolton Frazier and Jessica Marie Frazier, as well as a gaggle of treasured great-grandchildren.

Her accomplishments were many, an excellent cook, seamstress, knitter and jewelry maker but most importantly she was the rock of our family. She will be missed and loved always.

A graveside service will be held 10:30 a.m. Satursday, June 3, 2023, at Hillsboro Cemetery, Crozet, Va.

This is the Blue Ridge Tunnel, in Crozet, Virginia. It was recently reopened to the public, since it was formerly a railway tunnel. Normally, I don’t care much for trains, but this was a very cool trail. In the middle, it was pitch black without the lanterns, except for two pinpricks of light of the entrances on either side. Because of that, flashlights or headlamps are required. I went here in late November and if you get there early, it isn’t too crowded at all. A lot of people bike through it, but my bf and I walked since it was only about 4 miles the whole way there and back.

L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

Du début du XIXe siècle au XXe siècle

Après la Révolution, le Vaucluse entre dans le siècle de la modernité. Le XIXe est un siècle de grandes transformations, tant politiques qu’économiques, culturelles et sociales.

L’énergie hydraulique, déjà à l’origine du développement économique de L’Isle au Moyen Âge, va, grâce à la révolution industrielle du milieu du XIXe siècle, faire bondir le nombre d’usines et contribuer à la prospérité de la ville. L’industrie lainière a toujours participé à cette dernière. En 1840, les fabriques lainières de la ville créent les « Tapis de l’Isle », qui, dès 1927, prennent le nom de « Tapis d’Avignon », lors de la fusion des établissements l’islois Crozet et Brun-Champein. Ces tapis représentaient une innovation, car ils constituaient les premiers revêtements de sol en textile. A la fin du XIXe siècle, l’industrie lainière s’intensifie grâce à l’apparition des premiers métiers à tisser mécaniques. L’Isle, grande productrice textile depuis le XIIe siècle, fait travailler entre 300 et 400 ouvriers à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe, en particulier autour du canal de l’Arquet où 17 roues utilisent l’énergie de la Sorgue. La maison Brun de Vian-Tiran est la seule usine encore en activité depuis 1808. L’énergie hydraulique, captée par des roues à aubes dont certaines sont conservées dans le centre ancien, faisaient fonctionner également d’autres industries (moulins à farine, papeteries, etc.) et des ateliers artisanaux (menuiseries, métallurgie, etc.).

Par ailleurs, les importants gisements de gypse sur les hauteurs du hameau Saint-Antoine de L’Isle sont à l’origine du spectaculaire développement de l’industrie du plâtre. Les « gypsiers » l’islois exportaient déjà du plâtre sur les nombreux chantiers de l’Avignon pontificale dès le XIVe siècle. C’est un matériau récurrent dans les constructions et les arts décoratifs à L’Isle jusqu’au début du XXe siècle. La ville compte plusieurs sociétés plâtrières entre les XIXe et XXe siècles (Char, Lafarge, Dumas, etc.).

Au milieu du XXe siècle, du fait des progrès techniques et de la non-modernisation des fabriques, les usines ferment tour à tour. L’Isle détruit l’usine plâtrière Dumas pour y créer un jardin public et la ville conserve dorénavant ses roues à aubes pour témoigner de son passé industriel. A l’instar d’autres villes et villages du Vaucluse, L’Isle se tourne alors vers le tourisme (musées, galeries artisanales, magasins, restaurants). A la fin des années 1960, l’industrie a laissé la place aux antiquités. Aujourd’hui, la ville se place à la troisième place européenne du commerce des antiquités. Elle organise deux foires annuelles, à Pâques et à l’Assomption, qui attirent des visiteurs et acheteurs du monde entier.

Au cours de cette période, les changements sont également nombreux au niveau culturel et social. L’enseignement obligatoire de la IIIe République donne naissance à de nombreux établissements scolaires bâtis selon un modèle répondant à des préoccupations pratiques et symboliques. L’école de Petit Palais à L’Isle en est un exemple.

À la fin du XIXe siècle, l’industriel Alphonse Benoît crée dans la ville plusieurs établissements d’enseignement pour la jeunesse et les déshérités (école et refuge Benoît).

C’est en août 1890 que la commune devient officiellement « L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue ». L’appellation, officialisée par un décret municipal, est approuvée sous la Troisième république, par le président Sadi Carnot (1887-1894).

Took these pictures of a tunnel the other week and I think it's neat. It's a railway tunnel in Crozet, VA that they've turned into a hiking trail. It was a very nice walk -- very flat and well-maintained. Absolutely worth a visit.
