Winston. It sits beside the 1920 Richmond Art Company building.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the few remaining 19th-century residences on what is now a heavily commercial Grace Street. It shows how mass-produced catalogue components, such as cornices, ironwork, doors and moldings, were used in Reconstruction-era building. It also records the shift of the neighborhood from affluent residential to commercial use.","narrative":"Joseph P. Winston House is a two-and-a-half-story, three-bay brick town house on East Grace Street in Richmond's commercial district. Merchant Joseph P. Winston built it in 1873-74 on land bought from the Richard C. Wortham estate. It has an ogee-curved mansard roof with black slate shingles, pedimented dormers, a modillioned wooden cornice, and an ornate cast-iron porch with twisted columns. The original cast-iron fence survives, and inside are marble mantels, a graine-marked stair and a side-hall plan. Winston ran a wholesale grocery and commission business and lived here until his death in 1880. His family stayed until 1895, and the Joel family, founders of the neighboring Richmond Art Company, acquired the house in 1929. It is significant as a rare surviving 19th-century residence on Grace Street, built partly with catalogue-supplied stock materials, and as evidence of the neighborhood's change from homes to businesses.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"103: unknown; 101: Duncan Lee","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied and in good condition; the attic floor was remodeled as sales rooms for the adjoining Richmond Art Company, and the interior has had cosmetic alteration with original components preserved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:57.057147-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/55/6829/41682955/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/79003295.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003295/67857493d0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003295/67857493d0-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Morgan Riley","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JosephPWinstonHouse.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Morgan Riley</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:JosephPWinstonHouse.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"71000982","name":"James River and Kanawha Canal Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/james-river-and-kanawha-canal-historic-district-71000982/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682955","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_P._Winston_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20679865"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/richmond/winston-joseph-p-house-79003295/"}
