William Howell assembled the land through purchases beginning in 1839, and tax records indicate he built the house between 1848 and 1852. The house has a central-passage plan, a porch with Doric columns, and interior woodwork with original oak graining in the stair hall. Surrounding it are a brick meat house, a two-story brick building thought to be an original slave quarters, a frame corncrib, a bank barn, a pig house and a family cemetery. Howell conveyed the farm to his daughter Lucy and her husband Samuel A. East in 1869, and it left the family in 1908. Later owners rebuilt the front porch from historic photographs and added gardens. The property is recognized for its architecture and as a well-preserved example of a mid-nineteenth-century Shenandoah Valley farm that has remained in continuous operation.","period_of_significance":"1852-1900","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house is described as in excellent condition and retains its historic integrity.
