Virginian John Gordon's house is one of the finest examples of Greek Revival in the region. Set within a notch of land near the top of a ridge, it is protected from north winds and has a wonderful view of two valleys below. The symmetrical one-and-one-half-story stone house has a central recessed porch flanked by a pair of Ionic columns. The exquisite sandstone is scabble and drafted. Corner blocks flank each lintel, and two stone balls mark the semicircular steps leading to the entrance. Chimneys are at each of the gable ends, and the roof has a pair of segmental-arched dormers. The house's U-shaped plan incorporates a stairway in the side hall to the west and a brick kitchen to the east. A one-and-one-half-story frame house and another outbuilding lie northeast of the stone house. The remaining frame barns and storage sheds line both sides of Gordon Hill Road, mimicking a small rural village.
