It enlarges an 18th-century brick house and was remodeled in 1916 to designs by Waddy Butler Wood.","why_significant":"The nomination argues Bushfield is significant under Criterion C as a high-style Colonial Revival design by noted Washington architect Waddy Butler Wood. His 1916 renovation kept the original house and its portico and lantern while adding wings and a rear addition. The property also has ties to the Bushrod and Washington families, and it has remained largely intact as Wood designed it.","narrative":"Bushfield is a brick mansion on a peninsula where Nomini and Buckner Creeks meet the Potomac River in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Its core is an 18th-century center-passage house that belonged to the Bushrod family and later to John Augustine Washington, brother of George Washington. A portico and lantern resembling those at Mount Vernon were added before 1916. That year, new owner Mark Skinner Willing, a Chicago heir, hired Washington architect Waddy Butler Wood to enlarge the house. Wood kept the original building, added symmetrical wings and a rear addition, raised the roof, re-bricked the facade and moved the main stair. Colonial Revival details include rounded-arch windows and a monumental portico. Richardson & Burgess built the work. The estate also includes a caretaker's house, barn, silo and a family cemetery with Bushrod and Washington graves. It was listed for its high-style architecture and its connection to Wood's career.","period_of_significance":"1916","architect_builder":"Wood, Waddy Butler; Richardson & Burgess, Inc.","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed resources include the mansion, caretaker's house, barn, silo and cemetery.
