Myrtle Hall Farm

Myrtle Hall Farm, also known as Meadow Farm, is a historic farmstead and plantation house near Bluemont in Loudoun County, Virginia. It is significant primarily as a surviving historic property rather than as a commercial consumer brand. The principal house was developed in the early nineteenth century, with the original section constructed around 1813. That portion consists of a two-story brick main block arranged in the Federal style, together with a smaller two-story service wing and a one-story kitchen addition. The property illustrates the form and organization of an early nineteenth-century Virginia agricultural estate, where the main residence was supported by service, agricultural, and domestic structures distributed across the farm.

Myrtle Hall Farm is a historic plantation house and farm located near Bluemont in Loudoun County, Virginia. The property is also known as Meadow Farm. Its core house dates to approximately 1813, when the original two-story brick main block was built. The building reflects the Federal architectural style, which is characterized by balanced proportions, restrained classical detailing, and an emphasis on formal symmetry. The original residence was accompanied by a smaller two-story service wing and a one-story kitchen addition, indicating that household and domestic functions were distributed among connected but distinct spaces. Around 1850, a two-story library addition was added to the house. This expansion reflects the continuing adaptation of the residence over the nineteenth century and contributed to the property's present architectural form. The library addition, together with the earlier main block and service structures, records changes in the way the farm's occupants used and developed the house over time. The historic resources at Myrtle Hall Farm extend beyond the principal dwelling. Contributing features include a stone springhouse dating to approximately 1813, a stone-lined well from roughly the same period, and the Mordecai Throckmorton Family Cemetery. These elements document the practical infrastructure and family history associated with the farm. Later structures and landscape features include a wood shed dating to about 1850, a two-story guest house built in 1930 and altered or expanded in 1949, a tenant house from 1949, a tennis court dating to approximately 1949, and a stone entry constructed around 1949. Together, these resources show that the property remained in use and continued to evolve after the construction of the original house. Myrtle Hall Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. The listing recognizes the property as a historic architectural and agricultural resource. Available reference material does not establish a current commercial operation, consumer product range, corporate ownership structure, or public-facing brand program. Accordingly, the subject is best understood as a historic place-name and property rather than a conventional brand.
