The main house dates to the first decade of the 19th century, with additions in 1839 and 1920.","why_significant":"The nomination presents Reveille as a handsome early 19th-century Federal-style country residence and one of few surviving detached brick Federal houses in the Richmond area. It has long been a familiar local landmark. Its plan resembles Richmond Federal townhouses of about 1790 to 1820, most of which have been destroyed.","narrative":"Reveille is a brick farmhouse on Cary Street Road in Richmond's West End, now used as administrative offices by the church that surrounds it. The main two-and-one-half-story section dates to the first decade of the 19th century. A west wing was added in 1839, bringing Greek Revival trim, and a rear kitchen wing followed in 1920. The front is laid in Flemish bond, and the interior includes an open-well stair and Federal-style mantels. A brick dovecote, a latticed well house and servants' quarters remain on the grounds. The land came from a tract bought by Darcey Southall in 1750, and the house was built by the Southall family of Henrico County, though the exact builder and date are uncertain. It was sold at auction in 1831 after years of family litigation. The property was recognized as one of few surviving detached brick Federal houses in the Richmond area and as a familiar local landmark.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal (early 19th-century country residence, with Greek Revival trim of 1839)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied; used as administrative offices for the Reveille United Methodist Church.
