Its oldest section dates from the late 18th or early 19th century, and the wings and rear dining room tee were completed in 1823-24.","why_significant":"The nomination argues Greenwood is architecturally significant as a hall-parlor vernacular farmhouse later expanded into a five-part country seat, and as one of the finest and best preserved houses of this type in the area. Its interior retains much early woodwork. It also hosted the Marquis de Lafayette and James Monroe in 1825 and was occupied by Federal troops in the Civil War.","narrative":"Greenwood is a small but refined plantation house on the edge of Culpeper, Virginia, facing west toward the Blue Ridge. Its core is a 1 1/2-story frame hall-and-parlor building from the late 18th or early 19th century. In 1823-24 Judge John Williams Green of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals added flanking one-story wings and a rear dining room, creating a five-part facade. The interior keeps much early woodwork, including Federal mantels with reeded detail. The property is the remnant of a plantation that once covered about 900 acres and now totals 50.3 acres. It was listed for its architecture, as a well-preserved example of how a vernacular farmhouse evolved into a formal country seat. The house also hosted the Marquis de Lafayette and former President James Monroe in August 1825. During the Civil War, Federal troops occupied the property and placed a cannon on the lawn, and the trenches remain visible.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Unknown; built ca. 1823-24 by John Williams Green","architectural_style":"Hall-parlor vernacular farmhouse expanded to a five-part plan, with Piedmont Federal woodwork","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence and farm; house and grounds are described as maintained in excellent condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:59.575538-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/83/6802/41680283/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/85002914.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85002914/116b695a0d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85002914/116b695a0d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Ser Amantio di Nicolao","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greenwood,_Culpeper,_Virginia_at_dusk.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greenwood,_Culpeper,_Virginia_at_dusk.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680283","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwood_(Culpeper,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14712407"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/culpeper-county/greenwood-85002914/"}
