It has a belvedere, bracketed eaves, arched windows, and double entry doors, and it retains a very high degree of integrity. Its history as a dairy farm also reflects postbellum changes in local agriculture.","narrative":"Elmhurst is a brick house on Fall Hill Avenue in Fredericksburg, Virginia, built in 1871 in the Italianate style. It stands two and a half stories tall with three bays, an L-shaped plan, and walls of hand-made brick about 18 inches thick. Its low-pitched roof carries a square belvedere and wide eaves supported by large brackets, and arched two-over-two windows line the walls. Additions were made around 1900 and between 1912 and 1921, along with a front porch. The house once sat on a dairy farm whose outbuildings no longer survive, and the land was subdivided for housing in the 1930s. Around 1980 the interior was divided into four apartments, but it has since been restored to a single-family home and a 1996 roof that hid the belvedere was removed. The house is considered notable as one of only a handful of true high-style Italianate buildings in the Fredericksburg area, and it keeps much of its original fabric.","period_of_significance":"1871-1921","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Restored to a single-family residence after being divided into four apartments around 1980; a 1996 hipped roof that hid the belvedere was removed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:03.087836-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/39/6808/41680839/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/08000242.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000242/3f6860ad99-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000242/3f6860ad99-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Justinandsarah","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elmhurst_2010_Fair_Hill_Avenue_Fredericksburg_VA.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Justinandsarah</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elmhurst_2010_Fair_Hill_Avenue_Fredericksburg_VA.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100011797","name":"Fall Hill Avenue Medical Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/fall-hill-avenue-medical-historic-district-100011797/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680839","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmhurst_(Fredericksburg,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15216486"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/fredericksburg/elmhurst-08000242/"}
