[ ]Richmond Park (19 sub-boards)
Richmond Park, ancestral home of the Alvertons,
has graceful mellow- red brick, built in the tudor age, and added on to by each new generation, till it is given the impression of Elizabethan Manor meets French Chateau. The house is surrounded by fine grounds and parks, with tall polar, elm and pine trees as a re-occuring motif in it, as they all appear in the Alverton Coat of Arms.

[ ]Haverly Palace (18 sub-boards)
Built in 1700 for the wronged wife of a younger prince, to appease her feelings- it is a grand building indeed- but never lived in. The princess died just as it was being finished. The parkland is shut off from the world by Rosevale Woods, for it is built in a massive clearing at the edge.
The walls are pale gold sandstone, and the Greco-Roman roof is supported by dozens of grand marble columns. It has many steps leading to the enormous carved oaken front doors, and there is a mile long gravel drive leading to the palace. Greek and Roman gods decorate the pillars and roof, and towards the back of the mansion is a smaller domed roof on which a golden angel sits as a weather dial. The grounds are stately and sumptous, well kept and some of the finest in the whole of Europe.It is now the property of the Duke and Duchess Armande, of Devonshire.

[ ]Milton Court (14 sub-boards)
Considered one of the great 18th-century houses in England, Milton Court is a fitting monument and pendant to a man who recently inherited the estate, the Comte de Penthièvre. In the past fifty years, the former owners demolished the rear section of the dwelling, while leaving the hall range and wings intact. In its place, grouped round an open courtyard, was built a new kitchen, scullery and a range of servants' rooms, including a steward's parlour, a housekeeper's room and a strong room, together with family rooms and a staircase. A faint Jacobean trim was added to the front, with a balcony on each of the wings and cresting above them and over the centre of the house. The latter bears the arms of the new master. On the west front the Jacobean tower was remodelled, its square turrets being replaced by round ones, while the three bays immediately to its left may also have been replaced. The front of the mansion is covered in vast amounts of ivy, making the structure look as though it has grown out of the lush surroundings.

[ ]Prescott Manor (12 sub-boards)
Prescott Manor is new to the Rochesterford area. Elizabeth and Gregory Prescott had the Manor built for their son to reside in. It is a lavish and rather big Manor built on a large section of land. The path leading to the front Manor doors is wide enough for at least two carriages. There is a covering leading to the front to help aid in company not getting wet or dirty. The Manor consists of twenty three rooms. The architeture is done by the latest designers and builders, while using past architecture as inspiration. It has many rooms that are not being used, in which Antony plans to give to servants or rent them out for others enjoyment.

[ ]Morris Gardens (21 sub-boards)
The gate of the Morris mansion is far from it's doors. A large and spacious garden as well as grassy and well kept grounds are within sight and in the distance, up on top of a small hill, is the building itself, home to the Morris children usually without their father and mother. It has numerous amounts of flowers and trees all around it but the building itself hold pillars with vines wrapped around them to provide an elegant touch. There are windows larger then a standing man and the building is two stories with a third for an attic. To the side is a horse corral as well as another two buildings on each wing (west and east) of the mansion. A pathway, smooth and well managed with shrubbery by it for affect, leads from gate to door and loops back, as well as around the house for visitors taking a tour.

[ ]Blaisdale (17 sub-boards)
To enter the grand estate there is a road. You may walk ride or take a carriage along this road, but either way it will take a while to reach the house itself. Trees mark the border of Blaisdale and other estates, and surrounding the house itself is a huge empty space, with only grass meeting sky. A raised platform with statues and fountains is immediately outside the back of the house, while around the front is a circulaar pond with a gravel driveway, where guests arrive. The house is red brick, with large ornate windows making the house even more impressive. It is like a small palace with the grounds of such a place.

[ ]Raven Rock Manor (17 sub-boards)
A most picturesque, and beautiful ancient manor house. The hall stands on a raised platform of limestone, above the western fields of Rochesterford. A river nearby is crossed by an ancient picturesque bridge. Passing over it is the foot of the rock fronting the lodge of the custodian who keeps the keys. Going by the old stables, the gateway with its massive nail-studded door looms. The architecture of this part of the building is extremely beautiful; it is Gothic, and the heraldic bearings with which it is decorated are admirably carved.

[ ]Harrison Farm House (8 sub-boards)
Once owned by the Duke of Rosevale, this farm house is watched over and taken care of by a very happy family. It is mainly white with wooden siding, and green shutters on every window. The roof is a very high pitch of this two story home. With a weather vain on the highest pitch over each front door (there being two, one at each end of the house) and a slightly weed-filled garden out front. There is a large amount of green grass before miles of fencing can be seen.
