The original dwelling now serves as the rear portion of a later ell, housing the kitchen. The five-bay-wide, two-story, single-pile Greek Revival-style main block was constructed circa 1846 as a freestanding dwelling. A two-story rear ell was added circa 1856. The building was further expanded in 1921 with an ell extension connecting to the original dwelling, a rear bathroom tower addition, and a side elevation two-story porch on the ell. The main block and ell present an L-shaped footprint with the original 1833 dwelling extending from the rear of the ell.

After a fateful engagement in Gettysburg, Pennsyl- vania, Fauquier County’s role in the war changed. No longer the cradle of Confederate invasion, the battle lands of Manassas Gap, Auburn, Buckland Mills, and Rappahannock Station II were Lee’s path of retreat. Yet, much as Gettysburg did not end the war, Lee’s retreat was not the last that Fauquier County saw of Civil War soldiers. Throughout the Civil War, the “hallowed grounds” of Fauquier County were con- tested fields of battle. ■ June-July 1863 Goose Creek Bridge in 2008. Photograph by Garry Adelman.

  • Aldie, Middleburg, Upperville in the Gettysburg Campaign on Behalf of the Civil War Trust, Mosby Heritage Area Association, Aldie
    Aldie, Middleburg, Upperville in the Gettysburg Campaign On behalf of the Civil War Trust, Mosby Heritage Area Association, Aldie Heritage Association, Land Trust of Virginia, Piedmont Environmental Council, and Oatlands Historic House & Gardens, I would like to thank each and every one of you for coming out tonight to discuss the importance of this historically- significant Virginia town. It is truly an honor to speak to you all tonight. Now that we understand the preservation threat here in Aldie, as well as the history of the Battle of Aldie, thanks to Jennifer, Florian, Malcolm, Wynne, and Kevin, I would like to take a few minutes to put the cavalry battles of Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville, fought from June 17 through June 21, 1863, in the greater scope of the momentous and decisive Gettysburg Campaign. In early June 1863, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s powerful Army of Northern Virginia was at the pinnacle of its existence. Encamped at Fredericksburg and Culpeper Court House, Lee’s army had just won two decisive battles along the Rappahannock River line: at Fredericksburg in December and Chancellorsville in early May. Yet, much hung in the balance for the Confederate cause: the Confederate defense along the Mississippi River at Vicksburg – “the Gibraltar of the Confederacy” – was besieged by the Federals under the command of Maj. Gen. Ulysses Grant; intervention by Great Britain or France was on the cusp of being realized; and the Army of Northern Virginia struggled to feed itself off the war- torn Virginia landscape. If the Confederates could win a decisive battle against the Federals, they could perhaps win the war.
