Home of the "Gibson Girls."
To tell of all the famous people who
have and do live in Albemarle County
would fill a very respectable looking
book. In former articles we have
mentioned the names of scores of celebrities,
who have made this grand old
spot amid the hills and dells their
abode. This is the home of Mr. Chiswell
D. Langhorne the father of Mrs.
Waldorf Astor formerly Mrs. Nannie
Langhorne-Shaw. Mrs. Astor we all
know recently married the son and
heir of William Waldorf Astor, the
great millionaire. She is another of
Mr. Langhorne's beautiful daughters
made famous by the celebrated artist
Charles Dana Gibson in his "Gibson
Girl" pictures. Mr. Langhorne reside
on his estate at Mirador near Greenwood.
