It also cites the property's role in regional transportation, including a surviving 1748 segment of Thoroughfare Gap Road and the 1852 Broad Run depot site. Civil War strategic use and the layered architecture add to its significance.","narrative":"Galemont is a 237.7-acre farm on the foothills of the Bull Run Mountains, just west of Thoroughfare Gap in Fauquier County. Its house began between 1778 and 1817 as a small stone hall-and-parlor dwelling lived in by tenant farmers. Sampson P. Bayly bought it in 1848 and around 1857 added a frame second story and Federal and Greek Revival details. In 1872 T.B. Robertson, Sr., built a new I-plan house beside it, and between 1887 and 1904 Powhatan W. Robertson joined the sections under a spanning gable roof and added a south wing. The result is a large multi-period farmhouse with Folk Victorian character. From 1930, John B. Adams ran the farm as a dairy. The grounds hold ten contributing resources, including a ca. 1824 fieldstone wall, archaeological sites, the 1852 Broad Run depot site and a segment of the colonial Thoroughfare Gap Road dating to 1748. The property is listed for its architecture, agriculture and transportation history.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal; Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival; Other: Folk Victorian","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Remains a working dairy and agricultural property with a largely unchanged house; plumbing, ventilation and kitchen were updated after 1960.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.66795-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/89/6806/41680689/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/12000824.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12000824/21e6f9b4ac-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12000824/21e6f9b4ac-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GALEMONT,_FAUQUIER_COUNTY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GALEMONT,_FAUQUIER_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680689","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galemont","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16838236"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/fauquier-county/galemont-12000824/"}
