out aspects not visible or clear from photographs. Explain nature and period of all alterations and additions. List any outbuildings and
their approximate ages, cemeteries, etc.)
Carysbrook is a mid -19th century dwelling made up of a central section and two side wings.
The central section of the house is two stories constructed of frame on a laid stone foundation
It is three bays on the front side, with a door and two windows next to it. It is thus
asymmetrical. It has a gable roof of standing seam metal and an interior end brick chimney.
The siding uas originally weatherboard although most of it has been removed. The house has
basically been gutted. The windows, doors, siding and mantlepiece are all missing. The
windows were probably 6/6 sashes. The surveyor found architrave trim and corner blocks around
several of the window openings. This central portion of the house is flanked by two
one story wings which were probably built very soon after the main portion of the house.
These wings are of frame construction with brick nogging. For the most part the siding has
been removed and the nogging exposed. Some of the original siding, board and batten, still
can be found in the gable ends of the wings. The wings both have interior end brick chimneys.
As with the main portion of the house, the wings have been stripped of all their woodwork,
mantlepieces, windows and doors.
It appears that a frame wing had been added to the south one story wing sometime in the 20th
century. An outline of a mantlepiece can be seen on the exterior wall of the south one
story wing which would have been an interior wall for the 20th century wing.
,
On the end of the north one story wing is the entrance to the cellar. The cellar is lined
with coursed rubble and appears to have occupied the area under the entire wing.
Carysbrook is in very poor condition because it has been stripped of so many of its architec-
tural elements. Its architectural form is very unusual for this area as is the use of the
two different construction methods.
Interior inspected? yes, partially
Historical significance (Chain of title; individuals, families, events, etc., associated with the property.)
INFORMATION ON OUTBUILDINGS:
None of the outbuildings at Carysbrook remain. Just to the north of the house are the
ruins of what was probably the meathouse. There are also some ruins NE of the house
which were most probably farm -related outbuildings such as barns, chicken coops and
corn cribs.

Architectural description (Note significant features of plan, structural system and interior and exterior decoration, taking care to point
out aspects not visible or clear from photographs. Explain nature and period of all alterations and additions. List any outbuildings and
their approximate ages, cemeteries, etc.)
This Civil War redoubt is located NW of the house Carysbrook (34-319). It is in
very good condition although it is overgrown. It appears that it is in its complete form.
The Carysbrook_ redoubt was probably built during the fall of 1864 after Sheridan had
secured this portion of the Valley. It was built by Union soldiers and is just one of
several entrenchments and fortifications built of earth in the area. It appears to
be one of the best preserved ones.
one can assume that the Union army camped in this area and occupied it during this period in
1864. This means that there is the potential for quite a bit of archaeological investigation.,
