Bremo
To the west is Bremo, built by John Hartwell Cocke after plans made by Thomas Jefferson and completed about 1819. Two other houses once owned by Cocke, Lower Bremo and Recess, are in the vicinity. Cocke, one of the prominent men of his time and associated in the founding of the University of Virginia, was an early temperance advocate.
