Swannanoa was built in 1912 by James Dooley for his wife, Sallie May Dooley. The Dooleys built the beautiful Maymont as their permanent residence but built this exquisite 23, 000 square foot marble mansion on Afton mountain to use as their summer home to beat the heat and humidity of Richmond. The exterior is white Georgian marble from the US while all the interior is Italian imported marble. The Tiffany stained glass window at the top of the grand staircase is of Sallie May, his wife and is the largest Tiffany found in any private home in America.
