Its porticoed facade is a somewhat rare Virginia residential feature. It also survives as a working ante bellum plantation with surviving outbuildings and portions of its formal gardens.","narrative":"Westend is a brick plantation house in the Green Springs area of Louisa County, Virginia, completed in 1849. It has two stories, a hipped roof, and a pedimented, four-column Tuscan portico on the south front, with one-story wings on either side. The brick has traditionally been painted a light color, giving the look of stucco. Inside, a central hall with sidelights and Greek Revival trim separates the rooms, and the mantels are simple. Mrs. James Morris built the house on land inherited from her husband, Doctor James Morris, and Colonel James Magruder supervised the work. Its temple-front plan with small flanking wings follows the Jeffersonian tradition seen in other Virginia houses. Records survive on the cost of materials and the names of the workmen. Slave dwellings, a smokehouse, an office and parts of the original formal gardens remain, showing that it operated as a working plantation. The house is well preserved and little altered.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1849)","architect_builder":"Built for Mrs. James Morris; work supervised by Colonel James Magruder","architectural_style":"Classical Revival / Jeffersonian tradition with Greek Revival trim; Tuscan Order portico","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition, relatively unaltered, and occupied as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:57.467723-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/79/6816/41681679/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/70000810.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/70000810/b6a888b087-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/70000810/b6a888b087-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Jack Boucher","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westend_(Main_House),_Route_638_vicinity,_Trevilians_vicinity_(Louisa_County,_Virginia).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack Boucher</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westend_(Main_House),_Route_638_vicinity,_Trevilians_vicinity_(Louisa_County,_Virginia).jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"73002036","name":"Green Springs Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/green-springs-historic-district-73002036/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41681679","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westend_(Trevilians,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7987347"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/louisa-county/westend-70000810/"}
