Clem, with farm outbuildings, on 109.981 acres.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an exceptionally handsome, decorative and intact example of the Late Victorian I houses of prosperous northern Shenandoah Valley farms. Its two-story ornamented porch, cusped front gable arch and sawn-wood detail are unusual in the region. The ornament resembles work by builder R. S. Jones, who is probably its designer.","narrative":"Four miles southwest of Edinburg in Shenandoah County, Virginia, this farm centers on a house built in 1880 for Hiram C. Clem, a successful local farmer. It is a two-story, side-gabled frame I house with an integral rear wing, two interior brick chimneys and bay windows on the gable ends. Its most striking feature is a wide two-story front porch with open arched frames, sawn-wood ornament and a concave standing-seam metal roof. Gothic-style windows with colored glass sit in each gable. The nomination found no comparable porch in the region and notes that the ornament resembles the work of builder R. S. Jones near Mount Jackson. Surviving farm buildings include a wagon shed and shop, a granary and a 1920s garage. The house was carefully rehabilitated in 2001 and remains largely as built. The property was listed for its architectural distinction and unusual integrity, with a period of significance of 1880 to about 1920.","period_of_significance":"1880-ca. 1920","architect_builder":"R.S.
