The house began around 1800 and was enlarged around 1820-1830.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the house as an example of a modest early dwelling that grew into a large Georgian-style center-hall house with some Federal-style detailing. It is tied to the Chambliss family, a socially and politically prominent Sussex County family of farmers and merchants. The rural setting and an early-nineteenth-century frame outbuilding, likely a store and dwelling, add to its context.","narrative":"Glenview is a farmhouse and outbuilding complex on a 121-acre cattle farm about five miles south of Stony Creek in Sussex County, Virginia. The listed area covers about 48 acres. The two-story, hip-roofed, five-bay frame house appears to have grown from a smaller side-passage dwelling built around 1800 into a larger center-hall house around 1820-1830. Brick foundation patterns, attic framing and interior changes point to several construction phases. The house shows Georgian balance and symmetry, along with Federal-style interior details such as paneled wainscoting and shelf mantels. It is now covered partly with aluminum siding that protects the original weatherboards beneath. A one-and-a-half-story frame outbuilding, probably once a store and dwelling, stands to the south, and a cemetery site behind the house may hold the burials of William O. Chambliss and other family members. The property is associated with the Chambliss family, who were farmers, merchants and county officeholders, and who held enslaved laborers. The house is currently vacant.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial: Georgian; Early Republic: Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"The form states the house is currently vacant, with pressing conservation needs.
