Maple Front Farm, constructed around 1900 in Augusta County, features a well-preserved cluster of domestic and agricultural buildings that were once part of the original 185-acre farm amassed by the ancestors of the owner at the time of listing. The farmstead is representative of small-scale diversified farming trends that occurred during the late-19th and early-20th centuries in the Shenandoah Valley. The late Victorian farmhouse at Maple Front Farm also features interior decorative painting that may be the work of documented itinerant local painter Green Berry Jones.
