A Living Piece of Virginia History
The William Smith House is a Virginia Historic Landmark and a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1813 by Quaker farmer William Smith on land he purchased in 1804, it has stood at the heart of this Loudoun Valley farm for over two centuries — and it looks like it intends to stand for two more.
Set on just under 40 acres between Hamilton and Purcellville, the property offers more than 5,250 square feet of finished living space across two extraordinary structures: a Federal-style brick farmhouse with four bedrooms, original woodwork, and a double staircase, and a fully restored 1813 Federal brick barn — one of the few in Loudoun County to survive the Civil War — converted into over 2,500 square feet of additional living space with soaring ceilings, multiple fireplaces, a full kitchen, and its own well and septic.
Beyond the structures: a stocked pond with dock, a creek with a stone bridge, a restored corn crib, a two-story brick springhouse, a horse barn, a stone run-in, and extensive stone hardscaping throughout. Paved roads run directly to the property. The Dulles Greenway is close. The outside world is present — but you won't feel it here.
Inside the House
Built in 1813, the farmhouse is a Federal-style brick structure laid in Flemish bond on its front façade — a detail that signals both the era and the care William Smith brought to its construction. Inside, a double staircase, built-in cabinetry, wood floors, and multiple fireplaces reflect what historic surveyors described as woodwork "unusually fine" for a rural Loudoun Quaker farm of the period. Four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and approximately 3,276 square feet — most of it in the main house, all of it authentically itself.
The 1813 Barn
This is what stops you. The Federal brick barn is one of the few in Loudoun County to survive the Civil War — a county that was occupied, foraged, and fought over for four years. That it still stands, in its original materials, says something about how it was built. It has since been masterfully restored and converted into living space by local builder Allan Cochran, with soaring ceilings, wood floors, fireplaces, a full kitchen, and a gathering room that no new construction could replicate. It could serve as a guest suite, a wedding venue, an artist's studio, or simply the most remarkable room on the property.
The Land and Its Structures
The nearly 40 acres surrounding the farmhouse have been farmed, tended, and shaped over two centuries. A stocked pond, a winding creek crossed by a stone bridge, a lovingly restored corn crib, a two-story brick springhouse, a traditional horse barn, and a stone run-in shelter — each structure a working part of a farm that has operated continuously since William Smith broke ground. The land is partly wooded, partly open meadow, entirely private, and as unhurried as western Loudoun has always been.
