The Yard is a historic estate home located near Hot Springs, Bath County, Virginia. It was built in 1925, and is a large, Tudor Revival style dwelling. The plan features an inner courtyard surrounded on three sides by two-story, one-room-deep wings, with the remaining side at one-story. It is constructed of stone and half-timbered stucco, capped by a slate gable roof and punctuated by leaded glass casement windows and doors. Also on the property are a contributing former foxhound kennel and chauffeur's shed. [3]

Historically, an estate comprises the houses, outbuildings, supporting farmland, and woods that surround the gardens and grounds of a very large property, such as a country house or mansion. It is the modern term for a manor, but lacks a manor's now-abolished jurisdictional authority. It is an "estate" because the profits from its produce and rents are sufficient to support the household in the house at its center, formerly known as the manor house. Thus, "the estate" may refer to all other cottages and villages in the same ownership as the mansion itself, covering more than one former manor. Examples of such great estates are Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, England, and Blenheim Palace, in Oxfordshire, England, built to replace the former manor house of Woodstock.
