Benjamin Tasker Chinn, grandson of Councillor Robert Carter, built it on land that descended from Robert \"King\" Carter's Lower Bull Run Tract. The masonry includes quoined south corners and large stone lintels with small keystones over first-floor windows. Inside, a central hall holds an open-well stair with an elliptical arch, and the dining room keeps its original paneled wainscoting and a Federal-style mantel. Stone outbuildings, including a dairy, meat house and slave quarters, are believed to date from the same period; the slave quarters were relocated in 1979. During the Civil War the house served as a hospital after the battles of Bull Run, and soldiers' last wills remain written on a first-floor wall. The 4.5-acre property is now surrounded by residential and commercial development that replaced the original 1,642-acre estate.","period_of_significance":"1837","architect_builder":"Built by Benjamin Tasker Chinn; architect/builder listed as unknown","architectural_style":"Federal (late Federal style farmhouse, central-hall plan)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Form lists the property as occupied and in use for storage; the slave quarters were moved in December 1979 to a site west of the main house because of a church parking lot.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:58.069318-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/41/6827/41682741/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/80004214.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80004214/8f27e7ba7f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80004214/8f27e7ba7f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BEN_LOMOND,_PRINCE_WILLIAM_COUNTY.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:BEN_LOMOND,_PRINCE_WILLIAM_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682741","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Lomond_Plantation","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15198363"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/prince-william-county/ben-lomond-80004214/"}
