The Dooleys’ 1893 Gilded Age mansion—where the maid still serves.

A mansion in Richmond, Virginia, Maymont is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The Dooleys’ 1893 Gilded Age mansion—where the maid still serves. The file’s recurring figure goes by a name, not a description: the maid. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. The site is open to visitors.

Maymont is the '93 — the Dooleys who built, the '13,000 sq ft' that's the mansion. The 'May Mont' is the name — the Sallie that's the maiden, the 'hill' that's the French. The '32 years' is the occupancy — the 'no intervening' that's the rare, the '1925' that's the museum.
The '200 guests' is the luncheon — the 'governors' that's the '12, the 'world travels' that's the collection. The 'belowstairs' is the exhibit — the 'servants' that's the told, the 'Black and white' that's the interplay. Maymont is the intact — the 'Gilded Age' that's the expression, the '100 acres' that's the gardens.
The file keeps Maymont: the 1893 mansion, the Dooley collection, the 32-year occupancy, and the belowstairs exhibit.
Maymont is the archive's Richmond file — the Gilded Age intact.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Maymont is the archive's Richmond file — the preserved estate.
A mansion keeps its servants — the file's suggestion being that Maymont's hold is the intact: the 'no intervening' that's the rare, the 'belowstairs' that's the told, and the '32 years' that's the original.

FILED CLAIMS — 2 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] named ghost legend: A maid’s figure is reportedly seen on the stair. The figure answers to The maid in the retellings. A house with Richmond's history behind it gives the reports a setting that needs no exaggeration. It's a documented legend: the telling is real, the contents remain folklore. Named ghosts are the ones that last — this one has lasted.

· [Anecdotal] apparition: Reported a presence in the mansion. Maymont wears the claim the way old houses do: visibly, and without comment. The reports are anecdotal — consistent enough to record, thin enough to stay unproven. 'Maymont' carries the account. The apparition is the file's anchor — every other report orbits it. The telling survives; the proof stays folklore.
