Gunston Hall Empty Mansion Photo Contest

By Lacey Villiva
Education Manager

As our readers may be aware, we are currently in the process of replacing our 80+ year old slate roof with a more period appropriate cedar roof.  During this process all of the furnishings had to be removed for their protection, and as a result, we are currently allowing photography in the Mansion.  From August through September, we ran a photo contest, and received 118 submissions from 21 photographers.  It is our great pleasure to announce the winners of our Empty Mansion Photo Contest.

In third place, is a photo by Hannah Wheeler, titled "Past Perspective #5.

In second place, is a photo by Lillis Werder, titled "Golden Hour at Gunston Hall."

And in first place, is a photo by Lael Voeller, titled "Mansion After a Rainstorm."  Lael is a local resident, and recieved her prize here at Gunston early this week.
