It centers on a brick house built around 1775 and five contributing outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the few eighteenth-century houses surviving in Southside Virginia, notable for an exceptional original cellar kitchen and for clearly identifiable periods of construction. The farmstead also keeps a remarkably intact group of nineteenth-century agricultural buildings, which it describes as one of the most informative and intact nineteenth-century farmsteads in Tidewater Virginia.","narrative":"This farmstead in rural Isle of Wight County, Virginia, two miles from Windsor, centers on a two-story, five-bay brick house begun around 1775 as a one-and-one-half-story building. It was raised to two full stories in the early nineteenth century and extended by a frame addition at the rear in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Inside, the house keeps much of its Federal woodwork, and its raised basement holds an early kitchen fireplace. Five outbuildings survive nearby: a kitchen, a smokehouse, a servants' quarter, a barn and a saddle-notched log crib. The property is recognized as one of the few eighteenth-century houses still standing in Southside Virginia. Its cellar kitchen departs from the detached kitchens typical of the period. The original owner, William Scott, appears in records as a substantial landowner. Later owners, especially Dixon W. Kitchen from 1839 to 1889, shaped most of the present farmstead. Together the buildings form a compact, intact nineteenth-century farm group.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1780-ca. 1889","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial: Georgian; Early Republic: Federal; No Style","criteria":[],"status_note":"The house has always been occupied as a dwelling.
