It now operates as a museum.","why_significant":"General Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson used the house as his headquarters in the months before his 1862 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, when plans for the campaign began. The nomination presents Jackson as one of the great tacticians of modern warfare, and the campaign as a major strategic success that kept Union reinforcements from McClellan's army.","narrative":"Built in 1854 on a hilltop at the edge of Winchester, Virginia, this small brick Gothic Revival house served as Confederate General Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson's headquarters from November 1861 to March 1862. The campaign plans that followed, the 1862 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, took shape during these months. Jackson's maneuvers in the valley helped keep Union reinforcements from joining McClellan's army and are credited with contributing to the failure of the Peninsula assault on Richmond. Over time the house has been altered: front balconies and the entrance porch were removed, two gabled upper windows were added, and a modern kitchen was built at the rear. The original front faced south, but the west face is now the entrance. The property once covered an entire city block and now occupies a small plot of less than an acre. Inside, Jackson's office furniture has been returned, and his field equipment and other military items are on display. The house is open to the public as a memorial museum.","period_of_significance":"19th Century; specific dates Nov. 5, 1861 to March 11, 1862","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Gothic Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Open to the public as a memorial museum; the rooms open for exhibit are in excellent condition and well maintained.
