description

Summary

Significance: Erected during the early nineteenth century with additions dating to the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Barn is an example of the types of outbuildings found on well-developed early nineteenth century Chesapeake farmsteads. The multi-purpose Barn includes within it a granary. With its prim farmer's house and large collection of carefully constructed support buildings, Cherry Walk remains as a remarkably intact "middling" farm complex. It is a prominent example of the highly respectable sort of farmstead that successful landowners below the level of grandees strove to create beginning in the decades after the Revolutionary War and well into the nineteenth century.
