Bacon's Castle, VA (Surry County)

A National Historic Landmark (www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalhistoriclandmarks/list-of-nh...).

The nation’s outstanding example of high-style 17th-century domestic architecture, and the oldest documented house in Virginia, Bacon’s Castle was erected in 1665 for Arthur Allen. Pure Jacobean in form and detail, the house is distinguished by its cruciform plan, curvilinear gables, and diagonal chimney stacks. It acquired its present name in 1676, when, during Bacon’s Rebellion, the house was fortified by a group of Nathaniel Bacon’s followers. The house was modified in the 18th century when the first-floor paneling was installed and the windows were changed from casements to wooden sash. Further alterations occurred in the 1840s when a Greek Revival wing was added. The Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (now Preservation Virginia) purchased the property in 1973 and exhibits it as a museum. On the grounds is a vast formal garden, reconstructed from archaeological evidence of the original 17th-century garden. (1)

Bacon’s Castle is the oldest brick dwelling in North America and was once the home of Arthur Allen, a prosperous merchant and planter, and his family. Allen’s Brick House earned the moniker “Bacon’s Castle” in 1676 when several of Nathaniel Bacon’s men occupied the home for four months during the uprising that became known as Bacon’s Rebellion.

Historic Dr. Tucker House for Sale by preservationva

The Dr. Tucker House, c.1820, is situated on over 2 acres in the historic village of Buckingham Courthouse in Buckingham County. It is thought that the Dr. Tucker House served various purposes in the past, including a tobacco warehouse in the basement, Treasurer’s Office, a Masons lodge and perhaps a bank. Four doctors have past connections

with the house: Dr. Whitcomb Pratt, Dr. Perkins Glover, Dr. G.L. Morris, and Dr. P.E. Tucker, all who practiced medicine on the premises.

The Dr. Tucker House still possesses a rare, Jeffersonian accordion or peak and valley roof on the west wing, probably

the only surviving example known. The brickwork under the front porch still retains it original penciling on the mortar joints from the Federal period.

The Dr. Tucker House is a contributing structure in the Buckingham Court House District which is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places. Rehabiltation Tax Credits can be used for appropriate restoration work. This property is under protective easement with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. The Dr. Tucker House rehabilitation must be completed within four (4) years of transfer of title to the new purchaser.
