It was built for Dr. James Henry Loughborough and Caroline Jane Morgan and was enlarged in 1859.","why_significant":"The nomination argues for significance under Criterion B for its association with John Augustine Washington III, last private owner of Mount Vernon, who made Waveland his home and enlarged it. It also cites Criterion C for the early Greek Revival mansion with Asher Benjamin-influenced detailing and the 1859 addition, which included some of the earliest bathrooms in Fauquier County. The farm's agricultural landscape is also noted.","narrative":"Waveland is an 866-acre farm in the Piedmont valley south of Marshall, Virginia, centered on a brick Greek Revival mansion built about 1835 for Dr. James Henry Loughborough and his wife Caroline Jane Morgan. The house originally had a gable-fronting rectangular plan, a stone English basement, and interior carved woodwork whose round bulls-eye corner blocks and tall baseboards reflect the pattern books of Asher Benjamin. In 1859 John Augustine Washington III, who had moved from Mount Vernon, added a rear wing designed by architect Edmund George Lind, giving the house a T-plan. The addition included an Italianate porch, a brick walk-in safe, and three bathrooms with plumbing fed from a springhouse, described as the earliest known in Fauquier County. Washington left for Confederate service as an aide to Robert E. Lee and was killed in September 1861. The farm also retains barns, a meat house, a later farmhouse, and traces of slave quarters.","period_of_significance":"1835-1861","architect_builder":"Edmund George Lind, Architect (1859 addition)","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century - Greek Revival","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"The form lists the single dwelling function as vacated and the waterworks/reservoir as abandoned.
