WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — A lovingly preserved vestige of Virginia’s plantation past is up for sale, offering a centuries-old brick-and-mortar link to the first European settlers.

Carter’s Grove will be listed at $14.9 million at an auction scheduled for Wednesday. The dot-com entrepreneur who purchased it lost his fortune and fell deeply into debt. It’s being sold by order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
