About this property
The Litz Mansion Room #4 - The Hopkins Room
This beautiful historic mansion was constructed in 1859 by John Warfield Johnston, a Virginia Senator, and Judge of Tazewell County. The home is situated on a 3.16-acre lot and is conveniently located within walking distance of the Tazewell Main Street area. The Johnston family was very well known in Virginia for their achievements and built the home to display these accomplishments.
John, his wife Nicketti and son George lived in the home until it was purchased by John C. Hopkins and wife Elizabeth during the Civil War. Following the war, Colonel Andrew Jackson May (“Jack”) purchased the home. Jack May was thought of as one of Tazewell County’s best known military heroes who played a significant role in the Civil War and helped retain control of the Virginia-Tennessee Railroad. May lived in the mansion with first wife Matilda May, who sadly passed away. Jack remarried Nelle Bly and had a son Colonel May. Nelle remained in the home and turned it into a school for a couple of years before it was sold to the longest owners on record, A.Z. Litz and wife Etta V. Stauber.
While the mansion has changed ownership over the years, John Warfield Johnston’s home of grandeur remains the same over 160 years later!
Room #4 - The Hopkins Room (Shared Bathroom)
Named after John C. Hopkins who was the second owner of the home during the Civil War. This room is located upstairs in the rear of the mansion, has two sets of bunkbeds and is a perfect retreat for young and old. With three glass walls facing east, the sun fills this room in the morning. Designed to complement the cheerful sun, the white bunkbeds, beautiful white shutters and bright paint remind guests there is so much to look forward to outside.
