Tuleyries, The
About this property
The Tuleyries is an ante-bellum estate near White Post, Virginia. The complex was built around 1833 by Colonel Joseph Tuley, Jr. (1796–1860), a large slaveholder, who made the name a pun on his name and the Tuileries Palace. The house is a late Federal style mansion with a domed entrance hall. The house was sold by the Tuley family to Colonel Upton Lawrence Boyce (1830–1907) in 1866. In 1903 the property was acquired by Graham Furber Blandy (1868–1926), who hired Philadelphia architect Mantle Fielding (1865–1941) to restore and improve the mansion. Two-thirds The Tuleyries – as part of The Estate of Graham Furber Blandy, Deceased – was bequeathed to the University of Virginia. That land is now known as the Blandy Experimental Farm and The Virginia State Arboretum. The remaining property and house remained in the Blandy family. As well as twenty acres of lawn and garden the property includes a further three hundred and eighty six acres of forest and farm. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In March 2020, the manor house and 406 acres were listed for sale for $5 million. In October 2023, the house and most of its historic furnishings were sold at auction for $4.1 million in the bankruptcy of The Tuleyries Land Holdings LLC by the Welch Family.
