It centers on a late eighteenth-century frame farmhouse, probably built about 1790, and includes a relocated stone granary.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the best-preserved late-eighteenth-century plantation houses in western Prince William County. Its Tidewater-style design, with flush siding, twin exterior brick chimneys, a side-hall plan and fine interior woodwork, is unusual for Northern Virginia. The relocated Kinsley Granary is one of the few surviving eighteenth-century granaries in the county.","narrative":"Pilgrim's Rest is a 135-acre farm south of Nokesville, Virginia, lying across the Prince William and Fauquier county line beside Cedar Run. Its main building is a two-and-one-half-story frame farmhouse, probably built by Henry Dade Hooe around the time of his 1790 marriage to Jane Fitzhugh. The design is more typical of Tidewater Virginia than the northern part of the state, with wide flush siding, a side-passage double-pile plan, a concealed stair, and a pair of unusual exterior brick chimneys joined by a two-story pent closet. Interior wainscoting and shouldered mantels survive in part, though the house was restored in 1956. The listing was expanded to cover additional farmland and the Kinsley Granary, an eighteenth-century sandstone building that once stood beside a mill near Buckland. It was dismantled and rebuilt on the property in 1997-98 as a guesthouse. Both the house and the granary are valued as rare surviving examples of their types in Prince William County.","period_of_significance":"1790-1810, 1790-1794, 1880-1930","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Colonial/Postmedieval English, Southern Colonial","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house was restored in 1956 and is still used as a single dwelling with agricultural outbuildings.
