“BREMO HISTORIC DISTRICT
Bremo Bluff vicinity
These early-19th-century houses and farm buildings associated with the Cocke family are significant architecturally
and socially. Upper Bremo incorporates Palladian architectural features popularized by Thomas Jef-ferson, whose
advice General John Hartwell Cocke sought on the design. Bremo Recess and Lower Bremo are Jacobean Revival in
style. A Temperance monument and an impressive stone barn with Tuscan portico and cupola are also part of the
district. Cocke was president of the American Temperance Union in 1836, but is better remembered for assisting
Jefferson at the University of Virginia, where he served on the Board of Visitors from 1819 until 1852.”
