Summary
1998 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Entry
Significance: By the middle of the 19th century, the most common form of slave dwelling was a two room (two family) gabled house with a full undercut gallery across the front. These houses were usually constructed of timber frame with a single thickness of wood siding. Doors and windows were battened wood shutters, covering unglazed openings. A central chimney provided both heat and a hearth for cooking. ... The four quarters building still remaining at Blythewood are examples of this once quite numerous dwelling type. Three of the buildings have been greatly altered. One remains relatively unchanged, at least in form, and this is the house documented herein.
