Stephenson; PIN# 55-A-152
The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above-referenced Conditional
Use Permit application during their meeting on August 21, 2018. The HRAB reviewed information associated
with the Rural Landmarks Survey, information from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) and
information provided by the Applicant. This application seeks to operate an event center at 233 Burnt Factory
Road, Stephenson. This property is within the Stonewall Magisterial District. This CUP seeks to operate a special
events facility on the property.
The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley, published by the National Park Service, does not identify
the site or the surrounding areas as being part of a core battlefield. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources
identifies one mapped property located on the subject property DHR #034-0704 - Smith Farm/Brumley House.
Historic Resources Advisory Board Comments:
After reviewing this information and the Applicant’s materials and proposals, the Historic Resources Advisory
Board (HRAB) recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit as presented. The HRAB further encouraged
the Applicant to have the property documented to see if it’s eligible for the Virginia Landmarks Register or the
National Register of Historic Places.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
