The nominated area is 101.6 acres of a farm of just over 600 acres.","why_significant":"The nomination treats Grove Mount as locally significant for its architecture. It is a late-eighteenth century Northern Neck plantation house with a symmetrical south front facing the Rappahannock valley and interior woodwork that resembles that at nearby Menokin. It belongs to a group of four related plantation houses in Richmond County, with Sabine Hall, Mount Airy and Menokin.","narrative":"Grove Mount is a farm near Warsaw, Virginia, whose main house stands on a high ridge above Cat Point Creek, looking south over the Rappahannock River valley. Robert Mitchell and his wife, Priscilla Carter Mitchell, daughter of Robert Carter III of Nomini Hall, built the two-story frame dwelling after their 1782 marriage, probably between about 1785 and 1800. It has a five-bay symmetrical south front, a hipped roof, a raised brick basement and a central passage plan. Inside, the parlor has restrained Federal woodwork, while the chamber and dining room have bolder Georgian detail, including a fully paneled chimney breast. A kitchen wing was added in 1952 and an orangery in 1989. Surviving outbuildings include an eighteenth-century dairy, now a smokehouse, and the site of the old kitchen. Its architecture ties it to Sabine Hall, Mount Airy and Menokin, three nearby plantation houses linked by family connections.","period_of_significance":"c1785-c1900","architect_builder":"Not known (built by Robert Mitchell and his wife, Priscilla Carter Mitchell)","architectural_style":"Georgian","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling with agricultural functions.
