It centers on an Italianate villa built in 1858 and includes a kitchen/quarter, smokehouse, office, tobacco barns, dairy barn, an earlier c. 1830 house and a slave cemetery.","why_significant":"The house is one of only two known Charlotte County plantation houses built in the style of master builder Jacob W. Holt, and it is a rare local example of high-style Italianate architecture. Together with its intact outbuildings, it shows antebellum plantation life in Southside Virginia. It was built for planter and legislator Hillery M.L. Goode.","narrative":"Annefield is a farm complex of roughly 190 acres near Saxe in Charlotte County, Virginia, anchored by a two-story Italianate villa completed in 1858 for planter, merchant and later legislator Hillery M.L. Goode. The house has a low hipped roof, a bracketed cornice, fluted pilasters and a distinctive entry with sidelights and a transom set with round pinwheel windows. These features link it to the work of Jacob W. Holt, a prominent builder active in Southside Virginia and northern North Carolina. Surrounding the house are a kitchen and quarter building, a smokehouse, an office, two log tobacco barns, a 1954 dairy barn, an earlier house of about 1830 and a reputed slave cemetery near Horsepen Creek. Together these resources form a relatively intact antebellum farm group, which is why the property was recognized for its architecture. It is a locally significant example of a rare high-style form in Charlotte County.","period_of_significance":"1830-1954","architect_builder":"Jacob W.
