It holds farms, large estates, outbuildings, mills, churches, schools and the village of White Post.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the district preserves a remarkably unaltered agricultural landscape of large antebellum estates tied to Tidewater Virginia families such as the Carters, Burwells and Meades. It also includes places linked to Lord Fairfax and General Daniel Morgan. Architecture spans more than 180 years, from high-style Georgian and Federal houses to vernacular dwellings, with few modern intrusions.","narrative":"Covering about thirty square miles of southwestern Clarke County in Virginia's Lower Shenandoah Valley, this rural district is made up of rolling limestone-soil farmland, woods, streams and crossroads, with the Blue Ridge as a backdrop. Roughly 69 percent of the land is open pasture or cropland. Most of the land descends from a 1730 grant from Lord Fairfax to Robert \"King\" Carter, whose Tidewater heirs later moved here and built large estates, bringing plantation land-use patterns with them. The district counts hundreds of resources, mainly farm and estate houses with outbuildings, plus mills, churches, schools, corncribs and cemeteries. Notable places include Greenway Court, Fairfax's former land office complex, and Saratoga, General Daniel Morgan's limestone house begun in 1779. Carter Hall, begun in 1792, is described as the best example of a Tidewater plantation transplanted to the Valley. The district was recognized for its largely intact agricultural landscape and its range of architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Perry, Shaw, and Hepburn (Boston firm, 1937 remodeling of Springsbury); Colonel Nathaniel Burwell (Carter Hall); Daniel Morgan (Saratoga)","architectural_style":"Georgian, Federal, Early Classical Revival, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman, Ranch, I-house, Hall-parlor, Foursquare, Folk Victorian, Vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Primarily used for farming; about 28 percent of the land is under open-space easements.
