The log section probably dates to 1816 and was built for George Phlegar.","why_significant":"The nomination ties the house to the settlement of Floyd County by German American families who arrived after 1790, and to the county's settlement-period architecture. A datestone with the initials GP and the year 1816 marks the log section. Early features such as batten doors on HL and strap hinges survive, along with a ca. 1910 addition.","narrative":"Just north of the town of Floyd, Virginia, this farmstead centers on a two-story weatherboarded house built around a log dwelling that probably dates to 1816. A soapstone datestone in the stone chimney carries the initials GP and the year, marking George Phlegar, a German American settler who came to the area in the early nineteenth century. The house has a hall-parlor plan, batten doors on HL and strap hinges, and Greek Revival mantels added later. A two-story frame addition was made around 1910. A v-notched log granary and a frame workshop also survive. The property was significant for its link to the settlement of Floyd County, which was formed in 1831, and as a representative settlement-period dwelling. It stayed in the Phlegar family until the 1990s and is now held by a local preservation trust. Commercial development has replaced much of the surrounding farmland, leaving about two acres.","period_of_significance":"1816-ca. 1920","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal; Greek Revival; Late Victorian","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The house is owned by a historical preservation trust that plans to restore it for interpretive purposes.
