The earliest portion of the house, likely built between 1762 and 1782 by John Fowlkes, exists solely in the Flemish bond portions of the first story and English bond portions of the cellar brick walls. Paschal J. Fowlkes significantly rebuilt and/or enlarged the house around 1840, with further changes between 1840 and 1860, resulting in the core of the building described below. Between 1906 and 1911, Thomas and Rachel Scott built a two-story Greek Revival-inspired brick addition to the east gable and a three-story Colonial Revival brick addition to the northwest corner, more than doubling the size of the house in order to accommodate the house's new role as primarily an entertainment space. Exterior details include molded box cornices and Doric columns and pilasters on the two south-facing entrances. Interior details include three mantelpieces similar to those in Asher Benjamin and Daniel Raynerd’s American Builders Companion (1806). Hyde Park is situated on a rural, 863.19-acre property containing forest, pasture and agricultural fields located between the Little Nottoway River to the north and the historic Nottoway Courthouse Road (Va. State Route 625) to the south. A 3/4-mile private drive extending north from Courthouse Road provides access to a farm complex that includes the main house, tenant house, kitchen/wash house, ten log chicken houses (four in ruins), dairy barn, six small outbuildings, and the Fowlkes family cemetery. There is also a large, multi-component archaeological site encompassing these resources as well as the ruins of brooder houses, additional farm outbuildings, the tenant farmer house site, the cattle barn ruin, the old mill complex site, and the new mill complex site. Each of the contributing resources falls within the period of significance and relates to the areas of Agriculture, Ethnic Heritage (European), Social History, and Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Hyde Park Nottoway County, VA Name of Property County and State ____________________________________________________________________________ Architecture. The configuration of the fields is largely unchanged since 1860, and the house has had few alterations since the mid-twentieth century. ________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description House (building, contributing) During its long history, Hyde Park served numerous functions: plantation house, single-family home, hunting lodge, showplace for entertaining, central building of a refuge and training farm, bed and breakfast inn, and farm house. Flemish and English bond brickwork in the foundation and first floor walls suggests an initial construction period of 1762 to 1782 by John Fowlkes, but nothing else of this period appears to survive above ground. The house is oriented on a generally north/south axis and has an L-plan footprint. The Federal- inspired, three-bay, central passage core, with two stories of clapboard over one story of brick, engulfed the rebuilt and/or expanded eighteenth-century building. Single rooms flank the central passage on all three stories and while alterations provided access to the additions, they have not obscured the original plan. The smaller scale, brick, two-story Greek Revival-influenced 1906- 1911 east addition included one room downstairs, with a large room and spaces for utilities upstairs. Trim between this addition and the core of the house is remarkably consistent. Similarities of window and door framing, crown molding, and baseboards suggest that there was a conscious and complete renovation of the house during this period and these spaces were the primary entertainment areas for the Scott family. The Colonial Revival-influenced, brick, north (rear) addition
