NRHP Reference Number

The Barrett-Chumney House was built in 1823 by Thomas Barrett in an elegant Federal style, with stylish architectural details, as the seat of a small tobacco plantation in Amelia County. With the exception of some Greek Revival elements added during the 1860s, the Barrett-Chumney House remains little changed today and is an excellent and well-preserved example, along with its affiliated agricultural buildings, of an early plantation, originally worked by enslaved Africans and later operated as a farmstead of tenant farmers and day laborers.
