It is also tied to merchant Powell Huff, its use as a boarding house and summer hotel around 1900, and the ca. 1852 Tanyard House linked to local tanning.","narrative":"Monterey is a two-story brick house of about 1853 on a hilltop lot at 110 High Street in downtown Salem, Virginia. Built for Salem merchant and civic leader Powell Huff, it has a tripartite front, a projecting central pavilion and a two-tier Doric portico, and it kept its cruciform room plan through later additions around 1890 and 1910 and a 1926 remodeling by the Roanoke firm Eubank & Caldwell. Behind the house stands a contemporaneous brick dependency that probably housed servants. A small frame dwelling, the Tanyard House, dates to about 1852 and is linked to a nearby tannery. Around the turn of the twentieth century, two sisters ran the house as a boarding house and summer hotel for guests from the Deep South, and it later briefly lodged a college fraternity. The grounds hold a sandstone wall, rock-lined terraces and mature specimen trees from the 1920s. The property was recognized for its commerce, industry, architectural and local-figure associations.","period_of_significance":"Ca. 1852-1926","architect_builder":"Eubank & Caldwell","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Maintained and preserved as a residence with landscaped grounds; the house retains its original room plan and most exterior detail.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:59.766915-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/58/6835/41683558/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/98001069.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41683558","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134407709"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/salem/monterey-98001069/"}
