It sits with a 1928 garage, a ca. 1900 stable and a modern horse walker.","why_significant":"The nomination argues Dakota is significant in architecture as work of William Lawrence Bottomley, a leading practitioner of domestic Georgian Revival design in Virginia in the first half of the twentieth century. It is also significant for its stylish Queen Anne stable with dovecote turrets. The house was built for E. W. and Bertha Winmill, and E. W. Winmill helped found the Virginia Gold Cup race.","narrative":"Dakota is a brick country house and small farm complex just outside Warrenton in Fauquier County, Virginia. The two-story house was completed in 1928 from designs by New York architect William Lawrence Bottomley, apparently on the foundations of an earlier nineteenth-century residence. It has a slate hip roof, a symmetrical five-bay front and a classical entrance. In 1947-48 one-story bedroom and garage wings were added, designed by Suzanne W. McKown and built by local contractor David Blackwell. Behind the house are the original garage and a frame stable of about 1900 with corner dovecote turrets, in the Queen Anne style. The house was first built for E. W. and Bertha Winmill; E. W. Winmill was a stockbroker, gentleman farmer and a founder of the Virginia Gold Cup horse race. The property was recognized for Bottomley's work in Virginia and for the stable. A rehabilitation in 2004-05 kept the overall form and main historic features, and the stable still shelters young thoroughbreds.","period_of_significance":"Ca. 1900 - 1948","architect_builder":"Bottomley, William Lawrence; McKown, Suzanne W.; Blackwell, David","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival; Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"House and stable were rehabilitated in 2004-05; the property is used as a residence and the stable shelters young thoroughbred horses.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:03.244239-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/1/6806/41680601/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/05000768.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000768/c82d1c3b7d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000768/c82d1c3b7d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DAKOTA,_FAUQUIER_COUNTY,_VIRGINIA.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:DAKOTA,_FAUQUIER_COUNTY,_VIRGINIA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680601","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_(Warrenton,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14712228"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/fauquier-county/dakota-05000768/"}
