Under Criterion C it is an exceptional Greek Revival house in the Shenandoah Valley, noted for its staggered Flemish-bond brickwork, two-story portico and interior woodwork. The brick slave quarter is a rare surviving example in the region.","narrative":"Built around 1845 for Jonathan Peale at the crossroads that bears his family's name, this brick house sits five miles east of Harrisonburg in Rockingham County. It has five bays, two and a half stories, a limestone foundation and a center-hall plan. A two-story pedimented portico with stucco-covered Tuscan columns marks the front, and the facade is laid in an unusual staggered Flemish bond. Inside, the paneled window reveals, wainscoting and staircase survive with little change. A brick slave quarter stands about 50 feet north and is described as a rare survivor in the Shenandoah Valley. The property was also important during the Civil War. In April 1862 Confederate General Stonewall Jackson quartered here while his troops camped across the road, and the house served as a command center and hospital around the battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic. The period of significance ends with the death of John B. Peale in 1934.","period_of_significance":"circa 1845-1934","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the slave quarter and basement were undergoing renovation at the time of the form.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.9199-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/19/6835/41683519/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/07001144.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001144/1bedf48e1e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001144/1bedf48e1e-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jonathan_Peale_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jonathan_Peale_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41683519","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Peale_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15229715"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/rockingham-county/peale-jonathan-house-07001144/"}
