Its center section dates to about 1820-1840, with additions in the 1870s and 1880s that gave it a cruciform plan.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a convincing Queen Anne design that looks like a single building campaign but is actually the product of at least three periods of construction. Its residents were prominent in local, state and national politics and government, including Confederate General William Mahone's family during the Civil War and Judge Henry Wood, Jr.","narrative":"Set on a large, tree-shaded lot at 105 Sixth Street in Clarksville, this two-story brick house reads as a single Queen Anne design but grew in three stages. Its core is a Flemish-bond brick I-house probably built between 1820 and 1840. A rear north wing was added soon after the Wood family acquired the property in 1872, and a south wing followed in the 1880s, giving the house its cruciform plan and octagonal ends. Original chimneys were removed and the roofs were unified with low pitches and bracketed cornices. Inside, Eastlake-style woodwork survives, along with rare false graining on doors, shutters, mantels and the stair. The house was also tied to public life. Confederate General William Mahone bought it in 1862 as a refuge for his family, and Henry Wood, Jr., a Confederate veteran and judge, lived there until his death in 1921. Wood family ownership lasted about 120 years.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1830 - 1949","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late Victorian, Queen Anne","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition with no major alterations since reaching its final form, other than heating and plumbing changes; still used as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:01.145315-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/34/6819/41681934/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/99001201.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99001201/2c7e5c6c15-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99001201/2c7e5c6c15-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Judge_Henry_Wood_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Judge_Henry_Wood_House.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"02000625","name":"Clarksville Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/clarksville-historic-district-02000625/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41681934","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Henry_Wood_Jr._House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14712648"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/mecklenburg-county/wood-judge-henry-jr-house-99001201/"}
