Hi - the Virginia Historical Inventory has a report on Oak Hill, and
a photograph that was taken back in the 1930's.

The URL is:

http://eagle.vsla.edu/cgi-bin/vhi.gateway?searchtype=keyword&searcharg=oak+hill+loudoun

Click on the "Report Home Page" link at the top of the record for
Oak Hill and you will be taken to a map showing the location of the
structure.  The Survey Report should have details of the history of
ownership.
