Dated to about 1750, it has beaded weatherboards, brick end chimneys laid in Flemish bond, three pedimented dormers on each roof plane, and a slate roof. Inside, a center passage with a black walnut stair divides a double-pile plan, and raised-panel wainscot rises along the stairs. The most notable feature is a corner cupboard with fluted Roman Doric pilasters and a semi-domed upper section, described as unique among Dinwiddie houses. The house shares overmantel and dado patterns with several other mid-eighteenth-century county houses, suggesting a single builder or group of builders. It also belongs to a line of plantation houses along the river, including Mannsfield and Olive Hill. After four vacant years, it was restored in the 1950s under architect Randolph Gailey, and a one-story wing was added.","period_of_significance":"1700-1799","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular Georgian","criteria":[],"status_note":"Restored in the mid-1950s (1954) after four years of vacancy, with a one-story wing added; in use as a private residence at the time of the nomination.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:57.087868-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/7/6804/41680407/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/76002102.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76002102/58707b677b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76002102/58707b677b-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Burlington_entrance,_Dinwiddie_County.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Burlington_entrance,_Dinwiddie_County.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680407","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burlington_(Petersburg,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14712110"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/dinwiddie-county/burlington-76002102/"}
