It was the center of a farm owned by Quaker William Smith.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the property is significant under Criterion C for architecture. The house is a fine example of Federal-style design with unusually good interior woodwork for an isolated farm area. The brick barn with diamond-patterned ventilation holes is one of only six of its kind surviving in the county, and the two-story brick springhouse is described as a particularly fine example of its type.","narrative":"This farm complex near Hamilton in Loudoun County, Virginia, centers on a three-bay, two-story Federal-style brick house built about 1813-1820 for Quaker farmer William Smith. The front wall is laid in Flemish bond, and a recessed brick wing holding the dining room and kitchen was raised from one-and-a-half to two stories in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Inside, the heart-pine floors, reeded mantels, built-in cabinets and curved stair with carved scrolled brackets are described as unusually fine for the area. The farm also retains a brick bank barn of about 1813 with decorative diamond-shaped ventilation openings, one of only six of its kind left in the county, and a two-story brick springhouse set beside a pond. A loafing shed, corncrib and 1948 garage were added later. The property was recognized for its architecture and its well-preserved early nineteenth-century farm buildings.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1813-1952","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic - Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house is described as in excellent condition with well-maintained grounds; the springhouse and other outbuildings are in good condition.
