It includes the ruins of the main house, the circa 1820 Tucker Cottage, and a group of agricultural and domestic outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that Edgewood is significant for the depth and completeness of its documentary record, especially Joseph Cabell's letters about finding and keeping skilled workers, which show early 19th-century rural Virginia construction practices. Insurance policies also document how the plantation developed over time. The property also reflects the Cabell family and the Warminster tobacco port area.","narrative":"Edgewood is a sixty-five-acre plantation property near the James River in Nelson County, Virginia. It was established around 1790 on a lot at the western edge of the river port town of Warminster, on land that had belonged to the Cabell family's Liberty Hall tract. The main house burned in 1955, but ruins remain alongside the circa 1820 Tucker Cottage, an 18th-century dovecote, dairy and smokehouse, an 1828 icehouse, a corncrib, a barn or granary, a family cemetery and a well. The cottage has detailed woodwork by University of Virginia craftsmen Malcolm Crawford and Lyman Peck, and a Colonial Revival brick wing was added after the fire. The property is valued for its unusually complete documentation. Joseph Cabell's letters describe the difficulty of hiring skilled builders, and insurance policies record how the plantation grew, giving a clear view of rural Virginia building practices in the early 1800s.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Original 1820 woodwork attributed to University of Virginia workmen Malcolm Crawford and Lyman Peck; built circa 1790 by Margaret Jordan Cabell and Robert Rives","architectural_style":"Early Republic; Late 19th and Early 20th Century Revivals/Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"The main house burned in 1955; the Tucker Cottage was expanded with a wing afterward and restored, and the property remains in domestic use with its cemetery and agricultural outbuildings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.652219-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/17/6820/41682017/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/06000354.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000354/0dce7ddfa0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000354/0dce7ddfa0-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edgewood_north_of_Wingina.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edgewood_north_of_Wingina.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682017","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgewood_(Wingina,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5337878"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/nelson-county/edgewood-06000354/"}
