Oesch Residence & Land Trust
Schuyler, Virginia
View of Back Yard

Formerly active Soapstone quarries, Frederick Oesch acquired the property in June 1997, and is in the process of reclaiming and transforming the abandoned wasteland into a private residence, gardens and parkland. The model project is a living testament to the potential of post-industrial wasteland to rapidly "heal itself", given the appropriate and caring stewardship of mankind.
