The original five-bay block dates from about 1830, with a limestone ell added about 1850, on a 297-acre farm.","why_significant":"The house is a typical, little-altered example of the single-pile, center-hall I-house, with Federal-style details and fine native limestone work. It was built by John Evelyn Page, a member of a prominent Tidewater family who moved to Northern Virginia, and it illustrates how second-generation family members built modest farmhouses there. The surrounding stone-walled pastures remain largely unchanged from the 19th century.","narrative":"Huntingdon is a stone farmhouse set on a rise in the farmland near Boyce, Clarke County, Virginia. The original two-story, five-bay block was built about 1830 of silvery gray rubble limestone, with jack arches over the windows and irregular quoins at the corners. A three-bay limestone ell was added about 1850, and a porch beside it was later enclosed to form a service wing. Inside, the house keeps a central passage plan, a notable parlor mantel with Roman Doric colonnettes, a pegboard in the hall and a large amount of original hardware. A smokehouse and an ice pit with a log icehouse also survive. John Evelyn Page, a lawyer and later circuit judge whose family had left the Tidewater, built the house, then known as The Meadow. It was listed as a well-preserved example of the I-house type, set in pastures lined with stone walls that are still grazed and show little change from the 19th century.","period_of_significance":"1830 (original portion)","architect_builder":"John Evelyn Page (builder/owner)","architectural_style":"I-house with Federal and Greek Revival elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied private residence on a working farm; the form says the farm remains little changed from its 19th-century appearance.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:57.783927-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/88/6801/41680188/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/79003035.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003035/d61078b086-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003035/d61078b086-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HUNTINGDON.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HUNTINGDON.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"14000010","name":"Chapel Rural Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/chapel-rural-historic-district-14000010/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680188","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntingdon_(Boyce,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14712594"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/clarke-county/huntingdon-79003035/"}
