Its core is a one-and-a-half-story stuccoed masonry house of colonial origin, remodeled in the Greek Revival style around 1840, with agricultural outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is an excellent example of a tidewater Virginia colonial farm dwelling later remodeled with fine Greek Revival features. The Georgian center hall, double pile plan survives alongside Greek Revival trim, notably the stair. The late Greek Revival remodeling of an existing colonial house is described as typical of the style's spread in the rural South. The outbuildings extend the period of significance into the early twentieth century.","narrative":"Windsor Castle Farm occupies about 159 acres on a knoll overlooking the Pagan River at the edge of Smithfield, Virginia. Its main house is a one-and-a-half-story, gable-roofed, stuccoed masonry dwelling with a central hall, double pile plan. Evidence such as English bond brickwork, a beveled water table and mill saw marks in the roof framing points to colonial origins, and a house is thought to have stood on the site by 1750. Around 1840, after the Jordan family bought the farm, the house was remodeled in the Greek Revival style, adding pedimented and columned porches, mantels, door trim and a stair with Greek key fretwork. The property also holds sixteen contributing resources, including a kitchen, granaries, a crib, a stable, a graveyard and the sites of three tenant dwellings. It was listed for architecture, with a period of significance from about 1750 to about 1920.","period_of_significance":"c 1750-c 1920","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Colonial; mid 19th-century Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Current function is single dwelling; the farm includes a modern kitchen wing added around 1980 and a mix of historic and modern outbuildings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:00.663832-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/26/6813/41681326/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/00000897.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000897/4fdbff0c0f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000897/4fdbff0c0f-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Greg Vassilakos","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Windsor_castle_smithfield_manor_house_4.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Greg Vassilakos</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Windsor_castle_smithfield_manor_house_4.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"73002022","name":"Smithfield Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/smithfield-historic-district-73002022/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41681326","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_Castle_(Smithfield,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8024576"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/isle-of-wight-county/windsor-castle-farm-00000897/"}
