Barton Lodge, also known as Malvern Hall and French House, is a historic home located near Hot Springs, Bath County, Virginia. It was built in 1898-1900, and is a 2 1/2-story, five bay, double pile, Classical Revival style frame dwelling. It features a hipped roof with two hipped-roofed dormers on the north and south elevations and a temple front featuring a pedimented portico supported by Corinthian order columns. It has a one-story, flat-roofed, four-bay west wing. The house is situated on French’s Hill overlooking The Homestead. Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans (1872-1953) purchased Barton Lodge in October 1927, and renamed it Malvern Hall. Subsequent to her death in 1953, her Foundation made a gift of the Malvern Hall property in 1961 to St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Hot Springs.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
