The Crew House, also known during the war as Dr. Mellert's, was a key landmark of the battlefield. In 1862, numerous outbuildings stood close to the house, and a small orchard was nearby. Federal artillery in the yard anchored the left of the Union line, and other guns unlimbered in the lane to the left. The original house burned in the 1870's, and the present structure stands on the foundations of the wartime building.
