It is a single dwelling on about 8.26 acres.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that Edgewood is significant under Criterion C for architecture because of its rare form and the quality of its design and construction. Its Palladian three-part \"temple-wing\" plan was unusual in the area, and brick houses of its age, scale and grandeur are rare in the region. The period of significance runs through the 1951-53 renovations by architect William Roy Wallace.","narrative":"Edgewood is a two-story brick manor house on Old Stage Road in Stanleytown, Henry County, Virginia, built in the 1830s for John Redd. Its Palladian three-part plan has a projecting, pedimented, temple-form central block with flanking wings, all in Flemish bond brick. Inside are six fireplaces with different Greek Revival wood mantels based on the work of Asher Benjamin. The road in front was once the Great Wagon Road, also called the Carolina Stage Road, and the house was reportedly an inn at one time. Later owners included tobacco manufacturer John R. Brown, who held it from 1887 to 1928. Major renovations in 1951-53, designed by architect William Roy Wallace, added bathrooms, closets, a new heating system and a kitchen wing. The house is recognized for its architecture. Its classical form was unusual in the county, and brick houses of its scale and age are uncommon in the region.","period_of_significance":"ca 1830-1953","architect_builder":"Wallace, William Roy (architect for 1950s plans)","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century - Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling.
