Three contributing outbuildings (a smokehouse, springhouse and barn) survive with it.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an important upper-middle-class Federal farm dwelling in rural Loudoun County that retains much of its original character. Its Georgian interior detailing is more typical of Tidewater colonial architecture, reflecting the tastes of wealthy Tidewater planters settling the area. It is described as one of the few remaining remnants of late eighteenth-century Tidewater architecture in southeastern Loudoun County.","narrative":"Fleetwood Farm is a two-and-a-half story frame farmhouse with a side-passage plan, standing on a sloping site off Route 621 in Loudoun County. Built around 1775 for William Ellzey, a Tidewater lawyer and businessman who signed the county's 1774 Resolves for Independence, it combines a Federal form with Georgian interior detail. Pine wainscoting, a scrolled-bracket staircase and floor-to-ceiling paneled rooms with carved mantels survive in the original core. The house has been altered over time: stucco was added and the main entrance moved in the 1930s or 1940s, and a later owner restored the original entrances and added a wing in 1984 designed to look eighteenth-century. A stone smokehouse, stone springhouse and a barn with mortise-and-tenon framing remain on the twelve acres. The property was listed for its architecture, as a rare surviving example of Tidewater-influenced building in the southeastern part of the county, with a period of significance from about 1775 to 1900.","period_of_significance":"c1775-1900","architect_builder":"Ellzey, William","architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single dwelling; the springhouse is noted as in need of repair and the smokehouse as completely restored.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:00.7199-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/61/6815/41681561/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/90002172.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90002172/29eb27bcf7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90002172/29eb27bcf7-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FLEETWOOD_FARM,_LOUDOUN_COUNTY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</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:FLEETWOOD_FARM,_LOUDOUN_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41681561","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleetwood_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5458497"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/loudoun-county/fleetwood-farm-90002172/"}
