It is also significant under Criterion A for Social History: it served as a Civil War hospital, hosted the 1865 meeting that chose Confederate Memorial Day, and housed a school attended by members of the Byrd family. General Daniel Morgan lived there until his death in 1802.","narrative":"Set on a slight rise called Ambler Hill in Winchester, Virginia, this seventeen-room stuccoed house grew in stages over its first century. Its timber-framed eastern section was built around 1786 for merchant George Flowerdew Norton. The brick western wing followed about 1800, built for Revolutionary War General Daniel Morgan, who lived there until he died in 1802. A brick kitchen was attached about 1820, and additions followed around 1885, 1890 and 1915. Inside, it keeps red pine floors, Dutch elbow locks, six-panel doors and ten fireplaces, no two with matching mantels. The house was listed for its architecture, as a well-preserved example of late 18th-century domestic building in the city, and for its social history. During the Civil War it served as a hospital and was never occupied by Union officers. In 1865 local women met there to choose June 6 as Confederate Memorial Day. Later, a school in the back ell taught several members of the Byrd family.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1786-ca. 1915","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"COLONIAL: Late Georgian","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a single-family dwelling, with a non-contributing three-bay garage built in 1996 and a contributing stone retaining wall.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.698153-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/56/6841/41684156/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/12001274.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12001274/69f43330d2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12001274/69f43330d2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DANIEL_MORGAN_HOUSE,_WINCHESTER,_VA.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:DANIEL_MORGAN_HOUSE,_WINCHESTER,_VA.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"15000963","name":"Winchester Historic District (Boundary Increase III)","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/winchester-historic-district-boundary-increase-iii-15000963/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41684156","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Morgan_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16895379"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/winchester/morgan-daniel-house-12001274/"}
