As seen in these photos here [1], Oak Hill is in a state of neglect and decay, I am adding this to the article because I believe it is worth mentioning. -- Coingeek ( talk) 20:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Oak Hill (Leesburg, Virginia) — There are four other places named "Oak Hill" in Virginia alone which are listed on the U.S. National Register, and I am pretty confident most or all of them are plantations or plantation houses. (For example,
Oak Hill (Annandale, Virginia) is a Georgian house from 1790, and i am guessing that it was the main house of a plantation.) This Leesburg one is in fact named "Oak Hill Plantation" in its National Historic Landmark designation so i'd prefer for "Plantation" to be part of its name. There are more Oak Hills beyond Virginia listed in
Oak Hill disambiguation page. While this place is not in Leesburg, proper, it is near there and Leesburg is identified as the "near to" location in the National Register and NHL designations. An alternative acceptable to me would be "Oak Hill Plantation (Loudon County, Virginia)" (or correct the county if i have that wrong).

I collected NRHP documents for the place and added links into the article. Alternative titles used in those documents support using James Monroe name in the title, and do not support using "Plantation" or "Leesburg". It's also not actually in Leesburg, it's in unincorporated area 8 or 9 miles away, could be said to be in area of Ailie, an unincorporated community. Given this information, and no opposition here for Station1's suggestion, I think "Oak Hill (James Monroe House") is better, and am implementing the move, despite being involved in this discussion. If anyone strongly disagrees please feel free to re-open for more full discussion, but I think this should be okay.
