In 1987 records indicate that Beckstoffer's provided over $105,000 in millwork to the restoration of Blandfield Plantation, a historic treasure near Caret, Virginia. This is just one of a number of plantations that the Mill had a hand in restoring.
Although I haven't had the chance to visit this home, the care with which it has been restored is self-evident and reminds me of the James River plantations in Charles City county (close to Richmond) that I have visited. They are a wonderfully unique tourist attraction which serve not only to show examples of great architecture but also to tell a compelling story of families that helped shape Virginia. I hope to get to Blandfield soon.
