Summary

Significance: The Fort Hill Mansion is an example of a post-bellum, rural "manor," built circa 1880 for John, eldest son of William H. Sims of Black Walnut Farm. The house displays the stylistic influences of both Italianate and Greek Revival architecture, as well as a regionally traditional high-ceilinged, center-hall, single-pile plan.
