The Homeplace
The Homeplace is a historic home and farm complex located at Madison, Madison County, Virginia. The original house was built about 1830, and is a gable-roofed hall-and- parlor building with a rear shed addition, built of frame over a stone basement. It was extensively enlarged about 1875 by the addition of a two-story wing built on an I-house plan. Also on the property are the contributing barn, well house, sun pit (greenhouse), bunkhouse for farm workers, meathouse, and a building which once housed the furniture factory operated by the Clore family.[3]
