The house blends conservative Georgian form with provincial Federal and Greek Revival detail and keeps nearly all of its original fittings, including unusual Gothic Revival black marble mantels with alabaster panels. The double-crib log barn is one of only two antebellum log barns left in the county and a rare survivor in the Shenandoah Valley.","narrative":"Glendale Farm is a working farm in the northwest corner of Clarke County, Virginia, about two miles south of the West Virginia line. Its main building is a two-story, five-bay brick farmhouse built around 1847 by Archibald Bowen, who had owned the land since 1839. The house follows a conservative Georgian double-pile, center-passage plan, with Greek Revival porches and provincial Federal and Greek Revival woodwork inside. Most original trim, floors and stairs survive, including a cherry-railed stair and a pair of black marble parlor mantels with alabaster panels and Gothic arches, a feature not observed elsewhere in an antebellum Virginia house. A brick kitchen/laundry outbuilding with servants' quarters above stands nearby. North of the house is a rare Appalachian double-crib log barn, one of only two antebellum log barns left in the county, along with a corn crib, granary and hog shed. Together these buildings preserve a picture of Lower Shenandoah Valley farm life before the Civil War.","period_of_significance":"c. 1847-1860","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The farm is described as excellently maintained and still a working farm of about fifty acres; the farmhouse and farm buildings remain in use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:01.27343-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/8/6802/41680208/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/95000244.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680208","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glendale_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14712372"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/clarke-county/glendale-farm-95000244/"}
