Spring Dale

Spring Dale, near Dublin, Virginia, is a historic property that combines a mid-19th-century Gothic Revival mansion with evidence of much earlier occupation. Built in 1856 and 1857, the two-story brick house, credited in its early construction to James C. Deyerle, features a nearly square form, central-hall plan, and shallow hipped roof. The district also includes five contributing buildings, among them a smokehouse, barn, chicken coop, and possible blacksmith shop, reflecting the working life of a substantial rural estate. Its oldest feature, the Samuel Cecil Archeological Site, preserves the ruins of a log house built in 1768, linking the property to colonial-era settlement.
