Its sophisticated plan and exterior suggest formal design by an architect, although the name has been lost. The house and land have been tied to the prominent Richmond Wickham family throughout their history.","narrative":"Woodside is a two-story Greek Revival villa set in a wooded clearing near Tuckahoe in Henrico County, Virginia. Built in 1858 for Littleton Waller Tazewell Wickham, it consists of a three-bay main block with an English basement and a one-and-a-half-story T-shaped wing. Its brick walls are covered in scored stucco colored with red and brown stripes to resemble sandstone, an unusual and distinguished feature. A shed porch with Tuscan piers shelters the southeast front, and a central hall runs the length of the house. Although a rural dwelling, it was not a farm house; its refined exterior and well-considered plan point to formal design by an architect, whose name is lost. Family tradition puts the cost at $5,000. The land was bought by John Wickham, a Richmond lawyer who helped defend Aaron Burr, and it stayed in the family, reduced to about 50 acres. The house remains well preserved and is protected by an open-space easement.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1858)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition described as good, unaltered and on its original site; in use as a private residence, with the house and setting protected by an open-space easement.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:58.02231-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/37/6812/41681237/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/73002021.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73002021/7adbbcdd68-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73002021/7adbbcdd68-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Porterwhite","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woodside,_main_house.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Porterwhite</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:Woodside,_main_house.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41681237","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodside_(Tuckahoe,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14713565"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/henrico-county/woodside-73002021/"}
