Although the county tax information lists the home as having been built in 1906, after close examination it is most likely one of the oldest buildings in the quaint village of Rockbridge Baths, this ca. 1830 home is a worthy candidate for restoration, as it retains some of the county's finest and most well-preserved Federal-period architectural features. See MORE architectural documentation. Of substantial braced frame construction on a coursed limestone foundation, the side-gabled dwelling has stone chimneys with brick stacks, weatherboard siding (under newer aluminum siding) and a side-gabled roof supported by pegged, peeled-log rafters. True-divided-light windows with wavy glass panes and delicate muntins, survive throughout the home, as do handmade 6-panel doors with early Carpenter's rim locks. Fine handplaned woodwork-baseboards, chair rails, and architrave door and window moldings are used extensively in the home. High-style Federal mantels are the focal points for each of the four principal rooms, and incorporate pilasters, inset panels, stacked moldings, and wide friezeboards in their designs. The mantel in the principal first-floor space is especially ornate, employing an oval sunburst on the central frieze tablet, fluted concave pilasters topped by bold console brackets, and a serpentine-profile mantelshelf supported by multiple layers of stacked moldings. Decorative finishes, including faux graining, enliven much of the woodwork. (longer description on Zillow)
