The Clarke-Palmore House in Henrico County is a two-story, three-bay brick dwelling constructed in two stages. It began as a one-and-one-half-story Federal-style dwelling in 1819 and was raised to two full stories in 1855. A one-story frame rear addition with a wraparound porch was added in 1910. A mid-20th-century one-bay front porch was replaced early in the 21st century with a recreation of the original Greek Revival-style full-width porch. Two significant brick outbuildings are adjacent to the main house. An early 19th-century kitchen was converted for use as a barn in the early 20th century, and a mid-19th-century smokehouse was converted into a pump house about the same time. The Clarke-Palmore House and its two outbuildings present an intact complex of 19th-century structures that retain the character of an early Henrico County family farm despite their suburban surroundings. The buildings also demonstrate the adaptation of structures over time for the changing needs of the occupants.  The Palmore family donated the property to Henrico County for public use late in the 20th century, which operates it as the Clarke-Palmore House Museum.
