The house is tied to Edwin J. DuVal, listed as architect/builder, whose family held nearby mining and ironworks interests. Outbuildings and foundations add to its picture as a plantation property.","narrative":"Oak Grove is a frame house on Manakin Road in Goochland County, Virginia, set back about 300 feet from the road among boxwoods and mature oak, black walnut and holly trees. It grew in three stages: a one-room timber-frame south wing from about 1820, a two-story, three-bay central block from about 1850, and a two-story rear wing from about 1866. The central block follows the I-house form, with a full-width porch of square Doric columns, scroll-sawn corner board pendants, and Gothic Revival-style mantels with pointed-arch lintels inside. The property also includes a circa 1820 heavy-timber meat house, a brick-and-stone-lined well, a circa 1935 gambrel-roofed barn, a modern greenhouse, and the remains of two stone foundations, one thought to be a carriage house. Edwin J. DuVal is named as builder. The property was recognized for its architecture, and its period of significance runs from about 1820 to 1935.","period_of_significance":"circa 1820-1935","architect_builder":"Edwin J.
