Under Criterion C it is a rare surviving early nineteenth-century Greek Revival plantation house with finely crafted mid-twentieth-century Colonial Revival additions and interiors.","narrative":"Evergreen is a stone plantation manor house set on a small knoll in rural Prince William County, Virginia, now surrounded by a country club and golf course. Built circa 1827 in the Greek Revival style, it rises two and one-half stories over an English basement, with stuccoed walls, a central passage, and two-story porticos on the north and south sides. Around 1940 owner Thomas De Lashmutt added stone wings and installed Colonial Revival paneling, fluted trim and mantels on the first floor. The house was once the center of a 1,064-acre plantation. It is recognized for its association with Edmund Berkeley, who lived here from 1845 until 1915. He organized a local agricultural club, raised a company of the Eighth Virginia Infantry that became part of the so-called Berkeley Regiment, rose to lieutenant colonel, and later supported preserving the First Manassas battlefield. The house is also valued as a rare surviving example of its type.","period_of_significance":"circa 1827 - circa 1940","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Colonial Revival","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"The building is currently vacant and used for storage; a community preservation group is making exterior repairs.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.571626-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/39/6827/41682739/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/08000247.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000247/5baa789c1a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000247/5baa789c1a-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Unknown authorUnknown author","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evergreen,_State_Route_630_vicinity,_Waterfall_(Prince_William_County,_Virginia).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Unknown authorUnknown author</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evergreen,_State_Route_630_vicinity,_Waterfall_(Prince_William_County,_Virginia).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682739","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen_(Haymarket,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15217083"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/prince-william-county/evergreen-08000247/"}
