The earthworks were the site of three battles (1861, 1863, 1864) and anchored Jubal Early's flank at the Third Battle of Winchester. The form also documents the farm outbuildings that supported a farming and dairy operation around 1900.","narrative":"Fort Collier is a farm property about a mile north of Winchester, Virginia, where a brick house stands inside Confederate earthworks. The two-story, five-bay house, known as the Isaac Stine House, was rebuilt around 1865 after an earlier home was destroyed during the Civil War. It is a vernacular Greek Revival design with a stone foundation, a stepped brick cornice, a fluted Doric porch and a Gothic Revival entrance with frosted glass. Around the house are circa 1900 frame outbuildings, including a barn, corn crib, wash house and blacksmith shed, which served a farming and dairy operation. The earthworks were laid out in 1861 under General Joseph E. Johnston, to a design attributed to Major William Henry Chase Whiting, to protect Winchester and the Shenandoah Valley. Fighting occurred here in 1861, 1863 and 1864, and in September 1864 the fort anchored Jubal Early's flank at the Third Battle of Winchester. Today the site serves as a museum and meeting facility.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Mr. Clark (rebuilt the house for Isaac Stine, 1865); earthworks designed by Major William Henry Chase Whiting","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival (vernacular, with Gothic Revival door surround)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Now used as a museum and meeting facility; earthworks reasonably well preserved, though the northeast quadrant was filled in or removed for buildings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:03.474135-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/30/6808/41680830/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/06000356.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000356/f1ea194e72-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000356/f1ea194e72-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 4.0","author":"Sarah Stierch","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fortifications_at_Fort_Collier_-_Sarah_Stierch.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Sarah Stierch</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fortifications_at_Fort_Collier_-_Sarah_Stierch.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680830","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Collier","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8564716"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/frederick-county/fort-collier-06000356/"}
