Cherry Walk, Dairy and Smoke House Complex, Dunbrooke Road (Route 620), 2.25 miles north of Richmond Highway (U.S. Route 360), Millers Tavern, Essex County, Virginia

Significance: Erected ca. 1810-1830, this connected group of frame buildings including the North Dairy, Smokehouse, and South Dairy represent an excellent, intact example of the types of outbuildings found on well-developed early nineteenth century Chesapeake farmsteads. Along with the separate Kitchen, the dairy and smokehouse complex historically provided for the vital storage and preparation of food at Cherry Walk. With its prim farmer's house and large collection of carefully constructed support buildings, Cherry Walk remains as a remarkably intact 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.
