It also has a good collection of intact service buildings and a board-and-batten tenant house. The farm was owned by notable figures, including Thomas W. Gilmer and the Woods family, of whom Samuel B. Woods became Charlottesville's first mayor.","narrative":"Arrowhead is a 21-acre farm at the foot of Dudley Mountain, south of Charlottesville in Albemarle County. Its main house grew in three stages: a two-story frame center section built around 1859-1860 by local farmer Henry Carter Moore, and two wings added in the early 1900s. The older section is a vernacular Greek Revival farmhouse with an uncommon four-room plan, which the nomination describes as a rare unaltered example. Around it stand a log kitchen, a brick smokehouse, a carriage house and icehouse, and a board-and-batten tenant cottage with scalloped trim. The farm passed through owners including Governor Thomas W. Gilmer. In 1890 it was bought by the Woods family. Reverend Edgar Woods founded Pantops Academy and wrote a county history. His son Samuel B. Woods added the wings, helped win city status for Charlottesville, served as its first mayor, and raised livestock and orchard crops here. The setting remains agricultural.","period_of_significance":"1859-1907","architect_builder":"Henry Carter Moore (built the oldest section of the house)","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival; Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Buildings range in condition from fair to good; the property is a private residence and farm, and the owner is renovating and restoring it.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.730289-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/89/6792/41679289/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/91000885.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100004305","name":"Norwood-Wingina Rural Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/norwood-wingina-rural-historic-district-100004305/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":null,"wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/nelson-county/arrowhead-100003613/"}
