Campbell. It consists of a Queen Anne frame farmhouse and seven frame outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is significant under Criterion A for its link to the short-lived postbellum Virginia iron industry, since Campbell worked for his in-laws' Columbia-Liberty Iron Company. Under Criterion C it is a locally important example of a Queen Anne dwelling built during Shenandoah County's postbellum economic boom. Its ownership history also reflects the economic uncertainty of the Gilded Age.","narrative":"Overlooking the village of Lantz Mills from a hilltop in Shenandoah County, this farm centers on a two-and-one-half story Queen Anne house completed in 1888-1889 for Milton M. Campbell. The weatherboard house has a patterned slate hipped roof, conical corner towers, sawnwork gables, iron cresting and a wooden porch, and its interior retains bull's-eye corner blocks, ceiling medallions and period mantels. Seven frame outbuildings stand to the west, including a wash house, privy, hog barn, barn, machine shed and corn crib. Campbell worked for the Columbia-Liberty Iron Company, owned by his wife's family, which bought two local furnaces after the Civil War. When the ironworks failed in 1907, a lender foreclosed on the farm in 1908. The property is recognized for its connection to Virginia's postbellum iron industry and as a locally important, largely intact example of Queen Anne architecture.","period_of_significance":"1888-1908","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Remains a single dwelling with its agricultural outbuildings in use; described as remarkably intact, with all outbuildings in good condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:00.385715-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/39/6836/41683639/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/90001416.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001416/cdfa1c80e1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001416/cdfa1c80e1-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Campbell_Farmhouse_near_Edinburg.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Campbell_Farmhouse_near_Edinburg.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41683639","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_Farm_(Edinburg,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5028059"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/shenandoah-county/campbell-farm-90001416/"}
