KALBIAN, ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN FOR: FREDERICK COUNTY HISTORIC RESOURCES ADVISORY BOARD PROPERTY NAME: Valley View; Barrett House DATE OR PERIOD:ca. 1794 ORIGINAL USE: Residential VICINITY: West of Apple Pie Ridge SUMMARY DESCRIPTION: Valley View is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, gable -roofed, brick dwelling that was constructed in 1794. The bricks are laid in a Flemish -bond pattern on the front of, the house, and in a 5 -course -American -bond pattern on the back and sides. Exterior architectural details include: brick jack arches; a gable roof clad in standing -seam metal; 2/2 windows; 2 interior -end brick chimneys; a delicately -carved wooden cornice; a 1 -story, 1 -bay pedimented portico; and a side, 1 1/2 -story, ca. 1850 brick kitchen wing. The interior of the main part of the house is remarkably intact and features original Federal -style mantels, chair rail, pine floors, and original hardware. Other interior details include five fireplaces, some old lighting, built-in bookcases in the den, grain painting on some doors, picture mold, an 8 -panel front door with transom, and some wainscot. The house is historically associated with the Barrett family and was once part of a much larger tract of land that the Barretts purchased from Benjamin Borden in 1744. The current owner, James. V. Hutton, has extensively researched the history of the house and established its significance throughout several periods. RECOMA1ENDATION: Valley View is associated with the Barrett family, who were some of the earliest settlers to this area of Frederick County. The house is in relatively unaltered condition and features fine interior woodwork. Union prisoners of war were housed here during the Civil War.

It features an exterior stone chimney on the west end and one on the east end, which has been enclosed by a later addition. The original portion of the house is believed to have been constructed during the 3rd quarter of the 18th century by George Bruce, son of John Bruce, founder of Brucetown. It was enlarged during the mid -19th -century and again during the late 19th -century, thus giving it features distinctive of several different styles.

KALBIAN, ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN FOR: FREDERICK COUNTY HISTORIC RESOURCES ADVISORY BOARD PROPERTY NAME: Kenilworth; Littler -Stephenson House; Rocktown Plantation (VDHR # 34-113) DATE OR PERIOD: ca. 1740, ca. 1790, ca. 1820, ca. 1920s. ORIGINAL USE: Residential VICINITY: Stephenson SUMMARY DESCRIPTION: Kenilworth is a five -bay, two-story, random -rubble limestone dwelling constructed in at least three stages. The earliest part of the house dates to the mid -18th -century, with the late -18th and early -19th -century additions also of stone construction. Exterior architectural details include: two interior -end stone chimneys; a gable roof now clad in asphalt shingle; eight -over -twelve -sash double -hung windows; a fine paneled front door and transom with wooden tracery; a rear, 2 -story stone wing; an early -20th -century garage wing; and a 2 -story, front, pedimented portico. A fine 2 -story stone springhouse/washhouse appears to date to the 18th century. Kenilworth features refined interior woodwork including mantelpieces, overnmantels, and paneling. The house was originally part of a 1735 land grant to John Littler, an early Quaker settler of the area, who is believed to have constructed the oldest part of the house. The house was probably enlarged by his grandson. In the early 1820s the house was sold to William Stephenson and named Kenilworth. The house remained in the Stephenson family until the 1920s when it was sold to Harry K. Thaw, Mr. Thaw is best known as the murderer of the famous early -20th -century architect, Stanford White. While Mr. Thaw lived at Kenilworth, he made several additions and alterations. Kenilworth thus has an interesting modern history as well as important associations with the earliest settlers of this part of Frederick County. RECOMMENDATION: Although somewhat altered during the early 20th century, Kenilworth is significant as a home of John Littler, one of the earliest Quaker settlers in the area, and William Stephenson, an important 19th -century local figure. During the early 20th century, Kenilworth was also home to the notorious Harry K. Thaw, murderer of architect Stanford White. The property appears to meet the criteria for Frederick County Historic Property designation. SIGNATURE: DATE: 4+115 FREDERICK COUNTY HISTORIC PROPERTY DESIGNATION RECOMMENDATION BY: MARAL S. KALBIAN, ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN FOR: FREDERICK COUNTY HISTORIC RESOURCES ADVISORY BOARD PROPERTY NAME: Cleridge DATE OR PERIOD: ca. 1790-1810 ORIGINAL USE: Residential VICINITY: East of Stephenson, along the Opequon Creek SUMMARY DESCRIPTION: Cleridge is a 2 -story, 5 -bay, gable -roofed, painted brick dwelling that was constructed during the early 19th century. The bricks are laid in a Flemish -bond pattern on the front of the house, and in a 3 -course American bond pattern on the back and sides. Exterior architectural details include; brick jack arches, a roof clad in standing -seam metal, 2/2 windows, 2 interior -end brick chimneys, a wooden cornice with brackets, gable -end returns, a 2 -light transom over the front door, and a 2 -story rear brick wing (ca. 1890). The present windows on the front of the house were probably replaced during the late 19th century, at which time the openings for the first -floor windows were enlarged. The interior of Cleridge features some of the most elegant and intricate woodwork in all of Frederick County. The mantel in the main parlor is paneled with an elaborate overmantel with center medallion and dentilled cornice, while the one in the other parlor has a carved flower motif. The main part of the house is remarkably intact and features original Federal -style mantels, chair rail, pine floors, and original hardware. Stenciling has been exposed in the upstairs rooms, and features black and orange colors and a motif with urns, garlands, and flowers. This stenciling is one of only a few known examples in the county. The house is historically associated with the Ridgeway family, longtime members of Hopewell Friends Meeting, and is located near an important crossing on the old road from Winchester to Charles Town. During the Civil War this crossing was known as Ridgeway's Ford and was used by troops after the Second Battle of Winchester on June 14, 1863 and saw cavalry action during the Third Battle of Winchester on September 19, 1864. RECOMMENDATION: Cleridge is one of Frederick County's earliest surviving brick homes, and is in relatively unaltered condition. Its magnificent interior woodwork and stenciling also contribute to its architectural significance. The property has historical associations with the Ridgeway family and in the mid -19th century passed to the Clevenger family (still current owners) through marriage. Cleridge's location along the old main road between Winchester and Charles Town contributes to its historical significance as it was the site of at least two incidents during the Civil War. Cleridge has important architectural and historical significance and appears to meet the criteria for Frederick County Historic Property designation.

QUALIFICATIONS Chapter 97 of the Frederick County Code, entitled Historic Preservation, establishes criteria to evaluate the eligibility of structures as historically significant. These criteria are an adaptation of the National Register of Historic Places Criteria. In order to be considered, the following guidelines apply: Structure must be at least 50 years of age. The structure will be evaluated as a whole; parts of structures will not be considered separately. Structures will be evaluated on the following architectural or historical significance and the following physical and historical integrity: Architectural Significance Structure(s) must clearly represent: A recognized type, period or method of construction that enhances our understanding of the class of resources of which it is a part. The structure should illustrate a pattern of what was common to the class of resources; the individuality or variation that occurred within the class; the evolution of that class over a period of time; or the transition between that class and others. High artistic values expressed in areas such as community design or planning, engineering and sculpture. The work of a recognized master or an anonymous craftsman whose work is distinguished from others by its characteristic style or quality. Historical Significance Structure(s) must have been either: Associated with an event or events that made a significant contribution to the development of the county, state, or nation. The significant contribution of any event must be demonstrated and must be a good representative of the event or events and of the larger theme of which they are part; OR, Associated with a specifically identified person whose activities have been important in our local history. The property's association with an individual must be documented by accepted methods of historical research. ' The length of association must be identified. Physical and Historical Integrity A structure must possess physical and historical integrity. Integrity is the authenticity of a structure's historic identity, evidenced by the survival of the physical characteristics. Integrity applies in five ways: b. Location, which is where the structure was originally placed. ► Design, which is. the composition of elements that comprise the form, plan, space, structure and style of a property. ► Materials, which is the physical elements that were combined in a particular pattern. The integrity of materials determines whether or not an authentic historic resource still exists. ► Workmanship, which is the physical evidence of the craftsman's labor and skill on constructing, altering, adapting or embellishing a building. ► Aesthetics/feeling, which is the ability of the building to evoke the historic sense of a past period of time. A structure should exist today essentially as it did during its period of significance.

Winchester, VA 22603 RE: Cherry Row (a.k.a. David Lupton -Joel Lupton House) Department of Historic Resources #: 34-105 Property Identification # (PIN): 42-A-353 Dear Ms. Koontz: Frederick County is fortunate to have an abundance of well-preserved historic properties and structures which enhance our area. hi an effort to promote historic preservation in Frederick County, the Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) developed the historic property designation program. This program, more commonly referred to as the historic plaque program, enables the County to formally acknowledge the architectural and historic integrity of county structures. The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey recognizes Cherry Row as an outstanding example of the transition from the Georgian to the Federal style in the County. On behalf ofthe HRAB, I am pleased to extend an invitation to you to apply to the historic plaque program. There are several advantages associated with this program. Among other things, participation in the plaque program demonstrates a genuine commitment to historic preservation and may urge other property owners to do the same. In addition, historic recognition at the local level may be helpful as preparation for state and national designation, should you choose to pursue such an endeavor. Please be assured that participation in the program does not grant the County any rights to your property. As the property owner, you continue to retain all rights associated with ownership. The plaque is simply a marker, designed to display the historic significance of the property. I have enclosed the application form and instructions for historical designation in hopes that you will consider applying. If you have any questions regarding this correspondence, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Amy M. Lohr Planner I Enclosure U. 1.4mylCommonlHRABlplaque interest letters.wpd
