When Melchers stepped down from his official role in 1916, the Telfair still had not acquired a single work by him. To commemorate that occasion, Telfair&rsquo;s&nbsp;board arranged for the purchase of Melchers&rsquo; <em>The Unpretentious&nbsp;Garden<\/em>, today one of the best known works in&nbsp;the museum&rsquo;s collection.<\/p><p>Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont, both a Virginia Historic Landmark and a National Historic Landmark, is located at 224 Washington St. in Falmouth, across the Rappahannock River from Fredericksburg.
