The farm also reflects Loudoun County's nineteenth-century agricultural development under the Pierpoint family, who acquired it in 1830. Its outbuildings include a stone smokehouse dated 1840, a carbide house, a springhouse and a garage.","narrative":"Spring Hill Farm is a farmstead north of Hamilton in Loudoun County, Virginia, built around a brick and frame house begun about 1830. Originally a telescope-plan dwelling, with stepped-back sections of decreasing height, it is a form more typical of the Tidewater than of the Piedmont. A third story was later added to the main block, giving the building a strong vertical emphasis that reflects a vernacular take on the Italianate style. Inside, the best room has Greek Revival trim with corner blocks and paterae, while secondary rooms keep simpler Federal-style detailing. A one-story frame kitchen was added in the 1950s. Five buildings contribute to the property: the house, a stone smokehouse dated 1840, a carbide house, a 1927 garage and a springhouse of about 1900. The farm once covered nearly 200 acres and now holds under 24. It is significant for its architecture and its link to the agricultural development of Loudoun County under the Pierpoint family.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic; Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a single-dwelling residence; the farmstead is no longer in agricultural use, and the house retains a high level of historic fabric.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.357502-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/49/6815/41681549/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/05000766.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000766/4d2085caa9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000766/4d2085caa9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SPRING_HILL_FARM,_HAMILTON,_LOUDOUN_COUNTY,_VA.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:SPRING_HILL_FARM,_HAMILTON,_LOUDOUN_COUNTY,_VA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41681549","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_Hill_Farm_(Hamilton,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7580582"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/loudoun-county/spring-hill-farm-05000766/"}
