It is also significant under Criterion D for archaeological deposits dating mainly to the 18th and 19th centuries. The house is linked to an 18th-century ferry crossing of the York River.","narrative":"Cappahosic House is a two-story Georgian brick dwelling on a 4.7-acre parcel above the York River in Gloucester County, Virginia. Its walls are laid mostly in Flemish bond, with a belt course between floors, a dentil cornice, nine-over-nine sash windows and a red standing-seam tin roof. Inside, four rooms per floor each have a corner fireplace, and much of the original pine flooring, roof framing and several simple mantels survive. A modern addition was built in 1983. Local tradition dates the house to about 1712, but no records support that date, and the nomination places construction in the mid-18th century, tied to a ferry across the York River; a 1751 newspaper advertisement mentions a public house at the ferry. The Stubbs family held the land until the late 1780s, and the Baytop family later lived there. The house is listed for its rare pre-Revolutionary architecture and for archaeological deposits from the 18th and 19th centuries, including Late Woodland pottery sherds.","period_of_significance":"1751-1947","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Georgian","criteria":["C","D"],"status_note":"Remains a single-family dwelling in continuous occupancy; a rear addition was built in 1983 and several modern outbuildings stand on the property.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:00.981222-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/46/6809/41680946/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/03000211.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000211/1c2ef1bdc9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000211/1c2ef1bdc9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CAPPAHOSIC_HOUSE.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CAPPAHOSIC_HOUSE.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680946","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappahosic_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15207478"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/gloucester-county/cappahosic-house-03000211/"}
