RE: Vaucluse, Frederick County
Dear Mr. Myers:
At its June 19, 1996 meeting, the State Review Board determined that Vaucluse
appears to meet the criteria for listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National
Register of Historic Places. The board concurs with the Department staff that this property
appears to be eligible at the local level for significance in the area of architecture.
The staff of the Department of Historic Resources does not prepare national register
nominations which is the next step required in the registration process. If you are interested
in pursuing registration, I would recommend hiring a consultant or preparing the nomination
yourself. Staff from our Winchester Regional Office, 104 North Braddock Street,
Winchester, VA 22601, telephone 540/722-3456, would be happy to assist someone with the
preparation and upon request will send you a list of consultants and materials necessary to
complete the nomination.
Should the preparation of a nomination go forward, you will be notified prior to any
formal action by the Department or the Board. Thank you for your interest in the register
program. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the registration process,
please contact me.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Hoge Lipford
Register Program Manager

RE: Rose Hill Farm, Frederick County
Dear Mr. Taylor:
On behalf of the Commonwealth, it gives me great pleasure to inform you that the
Board of Historic Resources has placed the above property on the Virginia Landmarks
Register. Following final staff review, we will also forward the nomination report to the
National Park Service for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. I am hopeful
that the Keeper of the National Register will approve the nomination and include the property
on this official list of the nation's historic places.
The Virginia Landmarks Register includes "historic landmarks, buildings, structures,
districts, objects and sites which constitute the principal historical, architectural and
archaeological sites which are of local, statewide or national significance." Rose Hill Farm
richly deserves this official recognition as one of the Commonwealth's historic resources.
The responsibility for preserving Virginia's irreplaceable historic resources rests
ultimately with property owners like you. While registration does not in itself protect this
property, we hope -that this formal recognition will provide continuing encouragement to you
in your ongoing efforts to preserve this important part of Virginia's history.
The continuing protection and preservation of registered Virginia landmarks is of
immediate concern to this office. Many times our staff can offer technical advice to owners
who contemplate alterations or sensitive renovations of their properties. We welcome the
opportunity to serve, and it is our hope that you will let us know if we can be of any
assistance.
