Kinzie, with five surviving outbuildings on about 7 acres.","why_significant":"The house is significant under Criterion C as an intact residence designed by Roanoke architect H.M. Miller for a successful farmer. It is a very late example of the Queen Anne style. It combines standard manufactured components with traditional materials and methods, such as handmade-looking brick, painted mortar joints and hand-painted wood graining. It also keeps an older, formal separation of public and private spaces, with three staircases.","narrative":"Built between 1909 and 1911 on Route 11 in Botetourt County, this two-and-one-half story brick house was designed by Roanoke architect H.M. Miller for Thomas D. Kinzie, a farmer and dairyman. Plans dated November 1908 survive. The house has a complex hipped slate roof, pedimented gables with lunette windows and a one-story wraparound porch. Inside, the original center-hall plan, plaster walls and painted oak graining remain, along with three staircases that reflect a formal separation of public and private rooms. Although the Queen Anne style was already outdated, the house mixes factory-made plumbing fixtures, doors and transoms with older practices such as painted mortar joints and hand-painted graining. Room names like parlor, sitting room and chamber also look back to earlier habits, probably reflecting the owners' input. Five outbuildings, including a springhouse, garage, sheds and a bank barn, survive, and the property keeps much of its rural setting despite nearby commercial development. It was recognized for its architectural value.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1900-1951","architect_builder":"Miller, H.M.","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house and its garage and springhouse remain in domestic use; the barn, sheds and shelter are listed as vacant or not in use.
