It was built in 1848 by Julia and Ariel Foote on a parcel of about 8.9 acres.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a rare surviving example of rural Gothic Revival architecture in Virginia, where the style was unusual. It has steeply pitched cross gables, polygonal bay windows, drip moldings and lancet-arch windows. The only other Gothic Revival example noted in the county is a frame farmhouse with a Carpenter Gothic wing. The complex retains a high degree of historic fabric and integrity.","narrative":"Hartwood Manor is a brick farmhouse built in 1848 by Ariel and Julia Foote, who came to Stafford County from Connecticut. It sits on a low knoll off Hartwood Road, set back from the road behind a distinctive 1950s fence of concrete columns topped with cannonball shapes. The two-and-one-half-story house has Flemish bond brickwork, a steeply pitched cross-gable roof, polygonal bay windows, drip moldings and lancet-arch windows under deep eaves. A sensitive 1967 rear addition enlarged the home using matching salvaged brick. Inside, a central hall holds a heart pine and walnut stair, and five original fireplaces survive. Early twentieth-century outbuildings include a barn, milk house, chicken house and workshop, and a hand-dug well lies behind the house. The property was listed for its architecture: Gothic Revival was rare in rural Virginia, and the house keeps much of its original fabric. During the Civil War it also served as a Union hospital.","period_of_significance":"1848-1955","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Gothic Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house remains a private single-family residence, with outbuildings used for storage and a workshop.
