New Digs for Larry Sabato

Looks like Larry Sabato and the University of Virginia Center for Politics will be moving from their cramped quarters on the university grounds to the Birdwood estate near the Boar’s Head Inn and the Farmington Country Club — if $10 million can be found for renovations of the dilapidated old manor house, according to the Charlottesville Daily Progress.

Said Sabato: “It’s a gorgeous location and it looks back on an unspoiled view of the mountains Jefferson saw.”

Last year, Sabato gave $1 million to endow the Center’s programs.
