It was built in 1922 to a design by architect William J. Marsh and constructed by Hollis Rinehart, Sr.","why_significant":"The nomination argues Kenridge is one of the best preserved Neo-classical dwellings built in Albemarle County during the first quarter of the twentieth century. It has the style's key feature, a two-story front portico, along with recessed arched bays, a dentiled cornice with scroll modillions, and a central-hall plan. It is listed under Criterion C for architecture.","narrative":"Kenridge is a large brick house on a 1.79-acre knoll along Marsh Lane, west of Charlottesville. Built in 1922 from a design by architect William J. Marsh, with Hollis Rinehart, Sr. as builder, it follows a three-part plan: a two-story, five-bay main block flanked by one-story hipped-roof wings, all under slate roofs. Its most striking feature is a colossal two-story portico on the south front, carried on four masonry columns modeled on those of the Tower of the Winds in Athens. The north entrance, which serves as the principal entry, has a rounded one-story portico with an iron balcony. Inside, a central hall holds a dog-leg stair, wainscoting and classical moldings, with a living room and sun room on one side and the dining room and servants' spaces on the other. The house was listed for architecture because it is one of the best preserved examples of early twentieth-century Neo-classical design in Albemarle County. It remains a single-family residence.","period_of_significance":"1922","architect_builder":"Marsh, William J.
