Spring House
Nestled in the gardens of the Glenfiddich House and constructed using V-notched corners lies the only surviving log-spring house in Loudoun County. This 1800’s spring house features hand-hewn beams and dirt floors as it was originally used to cover the spring and store ice for the landlords of the property.
Tucked away in another corner of the gardens is the original smoke house dating to 1855. On a damp day remnants of smoke fill the air.
