Built for John E.R. Crabbe from prefabricated parts with its own acetylene gas plant, it reflected a push to bring the Northern Neck into the Machine Age. The land had been held by the Lee family for generations.","narrative":"Mount Pleasant is a three-story Queen Anne style house on Coles Point Road, about a mile outside Hague in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Completed around 1887-1888 for John E.R. Crabbe, a Baltimore dry goods partner who returned to his home county, it has a cypress frame, a brick basement, four brick chimneys, a wraparound verandah and seventeen rooms. Notable features include six faux-grained slate mantels, a stained glass skylight over the stair and ten gasoliers fed originally by an acetylene plant on the property. The house was assembled from prefabricated parts delivered by steamship, which set it apart from the Georgian and Colonial buildings common in the area. It stands on land held by the Lee family for generations. Later owners included Pittsburgh industrialist James King, who bought it in 1941. After years of neglect, it was restored following a 1994 auction. It was listed for its architecture, as a rare local example of the Queen Anne style.","period_of_significance":"1887-1952","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed as a private single dwelling still in domestic use; the house was restored after decades of neglect that ended with an auction sale in 1994.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:00.373561-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/4/6841/41684104/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/02001440.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001440/e17ffe1e70-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02001440/e17ffe1e70-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Pleasant_woodlands_on_Coles_Point_Road.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Pleasant_woodlands_on_Coles_Point_Road.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41684104","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Pleasant_(Hague,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15260042"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/westmoreland-county/mount-pleasant-02001440/"}
