Barton Lodge

Barton Lodge, also known as Malvern Hall and French House, is a historic home located near Hot Springs, Bath County, Virginia. It was built in 1898–1900, and is a 2+12-story, five bay, double pile, Classical Revival style frame dwelling. It features a hipped roof with two hipped-roofed dormers on the north and south elevations and a temple front featuring a pedimented portico supported by Corinthian order columns. It has a one-story, flat-roofed, four-bay west wing. The house is situated on French's Hill overlooking The Homestead.
