In the 1920s, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began a
30-year quest to recreate the town of Williamsburg by restoring homes and
buildings to their 18th-century origins. Hundreds of period rooms were
recreated with distinctive architectural mouldings and elegant furnishings.
Nowhere is there a style so well known and instantly recognizable as that of
Williamsburg. After 450 years, the elegant simplicity of the architecture still
makes a classic statement in today's homes. Focal Point is pleased to present
several designs in its Colonial Williamsburg® Collection, reminiscent of
Colonial and Georgian architecture.

A Century and a half ago, Natchez was capital to
America's Cotton Kingdom and home to the world's wealthiest planters. There
they built impressive villas with great white columns and an abundance of
classical detail. Their legacy, miraculously preserved, is today one of the
richest concentrations of early nineteenth century architecture in America,
ranging in style from the delicate Federal Neoclassical, through the massive
Greek Revival, and up to the elaborate Italianate. Focal Point offers designs
from D´Evereux, Stanton Hall, Glenburnie and several other historical
properties unique to Historic Natchez.
