"Mr. Davenport's most notable development was the contemporary-design houses of Hollin Hills. The first house was built there in 1949, with building continuing on the 225 acres of forested, hilly terrain in southeastern Fairfax County until 1971...Landscape architects were consulted to maximize tree preservation and configure the houses to fit the contours of the land"
