It also notes the house's Federal influence in an area where I-houses are typically Greek Revival, and its retention of plan, details and rural setting. It was the seat of the prominent Macon family.","narrative":"Greenwood is a timber-frame I-house standing on a rise on a 111-acre farm about one mile west of Orange, Virginia, with views toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. Built around 1820 on land tied to the Baylor patent of 1726, it has three bays, a center-passage plan, two stories over a raised basement, and Federal-style interior woodwork. A one-and-a-half-story wing was added around 1850, possibly designed by Ambrose Macon, a carpenter, using older framing methods. The house was built for Reuben and Lucy Conway, members of the prominent Macon family connected by marriage to the Madisons. Later changes include a kitchen, breezeway and garage added in the twentieth century. An early outbuilding, a well and the grave of nine-year-old Mary Roberta Macon, who died in 1843, also contribute. The property was recognized for architecture because it is an unusually early and intact local example of the I-house form, set in a little-altered rural landscape.","period_of_significance":"c1820-c1850","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal; Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Remains a single dwelling with secondary and agricultural outbuildings in current use; the house and setting are described as retaining a high degree of integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:00.674443-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/44/6823/41682344/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/92001702.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001702/9954f10a82-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001702/9954f10a82-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Ser Amantio di Nicolao","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greenwood_house_alone,_Orange,_VA.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_house_alone,_Orange,_VA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682344","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwood_(Orange,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15222133"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/orange-county/greenwood-92001702/"}
