[This house has been identified by Chris DiMattei (volorgas) as a Barber house.) Boydton in Mecklenburg County, Virginia has an unusually large number of old houses for a town of about 500. Part of Boydton Historic District, this wood Queen Anne was built by Joseph Wilkerson, a contractor, in 1912. The front façade has both a gable and a dormer projecting from the central hip roof, each with a round-headed casement window. A two-story bay is marked by the gable projection, containing large windows on both levels; these windows are six panes wide of two different sizes, 12 smaller on top and 6 longer on the bottom. Brick steps lead to the porch entrance, which is pedimented; this entrance is flanked on both sides by a turned post balustrade. The porch is wraparound—the main porch and a small portion extending back from the gazebo-like bay, domed with a finial. The bay divisions of the porch are marked by wooden, fluted Ionic column supports for the roof. The single door entrance has sidelights and a segmented transom. On top of the house is a widow’s walk. The cast iron fence with gate was the one-time fence for the Courthouse Square in Boydton to keep cows off the lawn. The Boydton Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places May 16, 2002 with reference #02000511. The house has been identified as one by Knoxville architect George F. Barber.

The house, on a 1.63 acre lot, apparently has been sold. It has 3,844 square feet; online realtor information states 4 or 6 bedrooms, and 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 baths. Online information also lists the date of the house as 1905. It also lists the contractor as Wilkinson rather than Wilkerson. The perennial question—how credible is information online? The foundation of my information is from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources: www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Mecklenburg/173-5...

The name of this mansion is On the Hill, the most spectacular of Boydton Victorian houses. The original core of the building was a cabin from the 1790s which was then converted into a farmhouse in 1830; in 1887, the dwelling was remodeled and this is the result. The original cabin is the far right side of the house. Features include a high-cross gable roof with a terracotta gargoyle perched atop the front gable; a three-story tower with ornamentation rising from the bay window on the porch; a full porch that extends the length of the front of the house; a small second-story porch or loggia above the entrance framed by gingerbread and a semi-circular opening; highly decorated tympanum on the third story above the porch; shingling; triple window in the gable; a carriage port and much more. George Finch, as a wedding present to his wife Alice, presented her with $5,000 and told her to spend it as she would. With that money, she was able to convert the entirety of the 1830 farmhouse into this Queen Anne beauty. The asymmetrical porch is simply amazing with many segments ranging from the gazebo influenced portion on the right all the way to the carriage port. A frieze extends the length of the porch except for the semi-circular effect next to the gazebo. It rests on stone piers infilled with brick. Despite is grandeur, the porch is very comfortable and welcoming. The owner told me that the house has its resident ghost. Virginia Department of Historic Resources ID: 173-5001-0126. It is part of the Boydton Historical District which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002--#02000511

[This set contains 6 photos] Dating from circa 1935, this art moderne structure was a gas station, brand of gas unknown. It is located in Boydton, the county seat of Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The current paint job emphasizes the basic architectural features. A garage is at one end of the front façade. Two large plate glass windows occupy much of the front; one corner window is segmented to follow the curved glass lines of the building. The entrance projects slightly from the façade above which is a tower-like element with 4 vertical rows, of 17 glass blocks each. I'm not sure of its current use or when it ceased functioning as a filling station; but for a brief period in the past few years it served as a market & deli and then as a restaurant. The building is included in the Boydton Historic District which was added to the National Register of Historic Places May 16, 2002 with identifying number 02000511. The nomination form is found online at www.dhr.virginia.gov/VLR_to_transfer/PDFNoms/173-5001_Boy...

The Washington Tavern, dating from 1822, is a frame 1-story structure with a Flemish bond foundation. There is an interior chimney in the rear section of the building. There is no ornmentation in keeping with structures of the time. Perhaps this is an example of Federal-style. There is a variation in the sash windows--those on the front have a 6/9 pattern and the rest of the building shows a 6/6 pattern of panes. The structure was built by James Bruce and Beverly Sydnor; it was one of 2 buildings that made up America’s first retail chain store (according to a marker outside the structure). Less than 20 years later it was part of a hotel and then part of a stage coach office. It served as a residence for many years. In 1973 it was moved from its original location next to the Boydton United Methodist Church, which uses the property. I don’t know when it was used as a tavern or how it got the name. It is in the Boydton Historic District and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. May 16, 2002 with ID 02000511.

A two-story bay is marked by the gable projection, containing large windows on both levels; these windows are six panes wide of two different sizes, 12 smaller on top and 6 longer on the bottom. Brick steps lead to the porch entrance, which is pedimented; this entrance is flanked on both sides by a turned post balustrade. The porch is wraparound—the main porch and a small portion extending back from the gazebo-like bay, domed with a finial. The bay divisions of the porch are marked by wooden, fluted Ionic column supports for the roof. The single door entrance has sidelights and a segmented transom. On top of the house is a widow’s walk. The cast iron fence with gate was the one-time fence for the Courthouse Square in Boydton to keep cows off the lawn. The Boydton Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places May 16, 2002 with reference #02000511. The house has been identified as one by Knoxville architect George F. Barber.

The house, on a 1.63 acre lot, apparently has been sold. It has 3,844 square feet; online realtor information states 4 or 6 bedrooms, and 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 baths. Online information also lists the date of the house as 1905. It also lists the contractor as Wilkinson rather than Wilkerson. The perennial question—how credible is information online? The foundation of my information is from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources: www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Mecklenburg/173-5...

The Washington Tavern, dating from 1822, is a frame 1-story structure with a Flemish bond foundation. There is an interior chimney in the rear section of the building. There is no ornmentation in keeping with structures of the time. Perhaps this is an example of Federal-style. There is a variation in the sash windows--those on the front have a 6/9 pattern and the rest of the building shows a 6/6 pattern of panes. The structure was built by James Bruce and Beverly Sydnor; it was one of 2 buildings that made up America’s first retail chain store (according to a marker outside the structure). Less than 20 years later it was part of a hotel and then part of a stage coach office. It served as a residence for many years. In 1973 it was moved from its original location next to the Boydton United Methodist Church, which uses the property. I don’t know when it was used as a tavern or how it got the name. It is in the Boydton Historic District and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. May 16, 2002 with ID 02000511.

[This set contains 6 photos] Dating from circa 1935, this art moderne structure was a gas station, brand of gas unknown. It is located in Boydton, the county seat of Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The current paint job emphasizes the basic architectural features. A garage is at one end of the front façade. Two large plate glass windows occupy much of the front; one corner window is segmented to follow the curved glass lines of the building. The entrance projects slightly from the façade above which is a tower-like element with 4 vertical rows, of 17 glass blocks each. I'm not sure of its current use or when it ceased functioning as a filling station; but for a brief period in the past few years it served as a market & deli and then as a restaurant. The building is included in the Boydton Historic District which was added to the National Register of Historic Places May 16, 2002 with identifying number 02000511. The nomination form is found online at www.dhr.virginia.gov/VLR_to_transfer/PDFNoms/173-5001_Boy...

[This set on Moderne structures in Boydton, Virginia consists of 5 photos—a gas-station and an ABC store (alcoholic beverage control)] This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work.

This is the former Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control store in Boydton, Mecklenburg, Virginia. It has not been an ABC store for some time and is currently being used for various governmental services. Built in 1949 in the Moderne style, it is typical of the Virginia state-wide architectural model for the alcohol sales centers of that time. One-story high, the front façade is symmetrical, made of cut granite and curved glass block. The darker portions at the base are also of granite. Two single-leaf doors at the corners have transoms and grooved wood molding; the doors are separated by three large panes of glass. At each end of the front façade are panels of fluted cut stone. In the upper corners is a star pattern, probably decorative rather than symbolic. At the top in each corner, a decorative star is used. It is part of the Boydton Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places 16 May 2002, ID reference #02000511

[This set contains 7 photos] St. James Episcopal Church in Boydton, Mecklenburg County, Virginia is a brick structure built 1840-1842 in Greek Revival Style; thirty plus years later, alterations were made with the addition of a rear unit, addition of the cupola, a change in front entry and in the windows. The church is small with a front gable roof, probably of metal; the front gable is an enclosed pediment with two air vents near the top. The cupola is hexagonal and rests just above the front gable; there are louvered openings, and a cross surmounts this element. The gabled front entry consists of double-leaf wooden door with a combination of recessed vertical and horizontal panels. Two rectangular columns support the entry roof which is capped by a cross. The mullioned windows consist of an arched design within an arched design, small panes bordered by larger panes. Lintels above the windows and a rear door (see image 6 in this series) incorporate a bulls-eye motif. The churchyard on one side and the rear includes a cemetery.

[This set contains 7 photos] St. James Episcopal Church in Boydton, Mecklenburg County, Virginia is a brick structure built 1840-1842 in Greek Revival Style; thirty plus years later, alterations were made with the addition of a rear unit, addition of the cupola, a change in front entry and in the windows. The church is small with a front gable roof, probably of metal; the front gable is an enclosed pediment with two air vents near the top. The cupola is hexagonal and rests just above the front gable; there are louvered openings, and a cross surmounts this element. The gabled front entry consists of double-leaf wooden door with a combination of recessed vertical and horizontal panels. Two rectangular columns support the entry roof which is capped by a cross. The mullioned windows consist of an arched design within an arched design, small panes bordered by larger panes. Lintels above the windows and a rear door (see image 6 in this series) incorporate a bulls-eye motif. The churchyard on one side and the rear includes a cemetery.

St. James is part of the Boydton Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places, May 16, 2002 with reference ID #02000511.
