The stepped-parapet dependencies are described as an unusually sophisticated treatment for outbuildings of the period. The brick bank barn, reportedly the largest of its kind in Clarke County, and other early outbuildings add to its value as a well-preserved domestic and agricultural complex.","narrative":"Smithfield Farm covers about 347 acres of pasture, grain fields and orchard near Berryville, in Clarke County, Virginia. Edward Jacquelin Smith bought the land in 1816 and placed his dwelling complex on a prominent hill, with the farm buildings set at a distance. The two-story, five-bay brick manor house, finished in 1824, shows Federal style features: a pedimented portico with Doric columns, an elliptical fanlight over the entrance, and a central hall with an elliptical arch and a dogleg staircase. In 1847 two brick dependencies with stepped parapet facades were added on either side, one used as a schoolteacher's residence and the other as a farm office and summer kitchen. A large brick bank barn from about 1822, a stone stable, former slave quarters and a wooden barn also survive. The farm was listed for its architecture and its well-preserved combination of domestic and agricultural buildings. It remains in the family and is still worked as a farm.","period_of_significance":"1820-1847","architect_builder":"UNKNOWN","architectural_style":"EARLY REPUBLIC: Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The manor house is occupied and the land is still farmed.
