Rosedale (Boundary Increase)
Also known as: See Also:Rosedale
Why it's listed
Rosedale, in Lynchburg, Virginia, is a historic property whose listed area was enlarged in 1992. The original nomination drew its boundaries too narrowly, so the agricultural and domestic outbuildings it described as significant fell outside the listed area. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources submitted an amendment at the owner's request, after review by the State Review Board. The amended boundary covers 84.15 acres, described as the acreage and outbuildings historically associated with Rosedale. The enlarged area counts seven contributing resources: six buildings and one site. The boundary is defined by six mapped points and runs roughly southeast, south, southwest, northwest, north and northeast around the tract. The increase was approved on April 10, 1992. The documents supplied for this amendment hold no description of the main house, its architect, its builder or its date of construction, so those details are not available here.
Significance in brief: The document does not give a statement of significance. The boundary amendment was filed because the original boundaries were too narrow and left out the agricultural and domestic outbuildings that the original nomination called significant.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary: it recognises significance and does not restrict what a private owner may do without federal money or permits. It unlocks the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit for income-producing buildings, state credits in many states, and Section 106 review when federal agencies are involved.
