记者来到浏阳市桃树湾时，这里正在大兴土木，维修刘家大屋。
桃树湾本是清江的一个回水湾，因为湾畔有一古老建筑——刘家大屋。叫得久了，人们合二为一，刘家大屋就是“桃树湾”，“桃树湾”也代称刘家大屋了。
庭院深深 雕梁画栋
刘家是官宅。因此，与附近的“六栋堂”比起来，多了份气派、豪华。
气派，首先显示在它的布局上。从纵向看，自中轴线上依次排列有门楼、前厅、过厅、中厅、后厅、筑封火山墙，从最外面是挂着“屏障南番”匾的槽门，中间有接待贵宾的宽敞大厅，大厅之后是供奉祖先牌位的神坛。一眼望进去，真是庭院深深。从横向看，前后三进，也有大门、前厅、中厅、后厅，厅两旁是厢房。如果以厅为“骨”，则整座建筑呈一个“丰”字形结构。一位刘家后人告诉记者，横向房子原是粮仓、盐仓、客厅、私塾等。在记者看来，每一“横”都是一个相对独立的体系，完全可以形成刘氏一个分支相对独立的世界。
豪华，显示在它的装饰上。穿行于大屋中，花鸟兽纹青砖，穿斗式木框架随处可见；麒麟、狮象等各种吉祥物图像布满墙柱。各楼院之间的宽敞天井，全以青光石和花岗岩铺砌。各厅的顶部都以华丽的六角藻井装饰。
满地“金砖” 皇家特供
最显得豪华的大概算铺地的约2400块小“金砖”。文物专家告诉记者，金砖“不是金子做的”，用材也是土，只不过这种土有黏性，含铝量较高。但烧制这种砖，工艺要求特别高。一般来说，要经过炼土、制坯、烧制、出窑、打磨和浸泡等几道工序。仅炼土一道，就要耗时8个月以上。烧砖之土要经过掘、运、晒、椎、浆、磨、筛七个环节才能制坯。最后一道工序为浸泡，就是将出窑后经过打磨的砖，浸泡在桐油里。桐油不仅能使金砖光泽鲜亮，还能够延长它的使用寿命。以上几个工序耗费的时间加在一起，一共一年多。成品砖敲击时有金属之声，加上色泽光亮，看上去也就像“金砖”了。这种砖当然要比一般火砖厚实、耐用；用在建筑物上显得气派、豪华。如此，其价格也高出一般砖许多，民间也有“一两黄金一块砖”的说法。
金砖高贵，“娶”它的非贵即富。皇宫自不必说，用的是皇家御窑特供金砖。官家建筑当然要用这种砖，如浏阳文庙，虽不是皇宫，却也是孔夫子的祭殿。
5年修成 耗银万两
而民宅用它，主家得财力雄厚。当然，再有钱的也不敢用修故宫里那种大金砖，用了就违制。因此，桃树湾刘家大屋用的是“小金砖”。在其前厅至正厅，约200多平方米的面积，除去墙角一侧的小青砖或鹅卵石外，其他都为“小金砖”铺就。刘家大屋自道光二十九年（1849）七月三十日酉时正式动工修复与扩建，咸丰三年（公元1853）竣工，耗时近5年，耗钱2万贯（当时折合白银约1万两）。
刘家世代为官。首次出高官在北宋。据说其先祖刘叔度博古通今，文采出众，赢得科举榜首，深受朝廷赏识，官至工部尚书、太保府君。其后裔刘皇眷在清廷任奉直大夫，桃树湾土地则为皇帝所赐。历经四代，传至敬亭山人刘运庄，官至同州治。他以先祖托梦为由，将刘家大屋定址于此。大屋落成之后，刘运庄在大厅撰联：“得山水缘，其来自由；为子孙计，爰宅于兹”；又撰《桃树湾记》，刻石碑立于后堂。
从当代人眼光看来，桃树湾确是宜居之地。前对潺潺清江水，后依青翠詹家山。刘运庄选址之时，河滩一片桃林，每当春暖花开，蜂鸣蝶舞，刘家大屋就像桃花深处嫣然而笑的古典美人，能不叫人留连忘返？
