The home was built by Judith F. Winfree, wife of Rupert W. Winfree, in 1908 and it remained in the family until the 1940s. It is a two-story frame Colonial Revival house with a prominent front façade with classical detailing including a pedimented portico with Doric columns. Other architectural details include triple windows on the first floor with elliptical fanlights over all openings and in the pediment. The original plan of the house was a simple double-pile I-house. (Chesterfield County Early Architecture and Historic Sites, O’Dell, page 334) One-story side gabled additions were added to the northern and southern sides of the house in 2011. The additions totaled 2,131 square feet, increasing the structure’s footprint to 6,582 square feet. The additions are complimentary to the house’s original design. The current owners are seeking zoning approval to operate a bed and breakfast and special events business in the home. COMPREHESIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Planspeaks to the importance of preserving historic resources in Chapter 8: Historical and Cultural Resources. Specifically, the following guideline of this chapter supports this designation: Historic Designations: Encourage voluntary local, state and national historic landmark and district designations through incentive programs. Consider designation of only that area necessary to accomplish preservation thereby affording the option for future use of the remaining area. Adaptive Reuse. Encourage adaptive reuse of county-designated historic sites and structures in accordance with the recommendations of The Land Use Plan Chapter. AREA DEVELOPMENT TRENDS The area along Hopkins Road is characterized by residential and commercial uses, adjacent to a commercial node at the intersection of Hopkins Road and Chippenham Parkway. Formerly the location of a large suburban estate, Meadowbrook Farm, the area experienced typical suburban residential development throughout the 1960s and later. A portion of the estate became a private country club in 1957, and exists today as the Meadowbrook Country Club. Also nearby, Argyle is the only early twentieth century large suburban house that survives in this area. Argyle was also once a part of the Meadowbrook Country Club but is now privately owned. HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION FINDINGS The proposed historic landmark designation is representative of, and compatible with, existing and anticipated area development, and is supportedby the countywide Comprehensive Plan, to protect and preserve historic and cultural resources. Edgewood is a remaining example of early suburban development, an important element of Chesterfield County’s past. Other examples in this area have been lost to demolition. The proposed designation will not have an adverse effect on the County’s future development. 615HP0145-2015JUL22-BOS-RPT CASE HISTORY Applicant Submittal 2/19/15 Application submitted Community Meetings 4/6/15 Issues Discussed The District Planning Commissioner, the applicants and staff attended this meeting at Meadowdale Library Citizens and neighbors expressed opposition to the proposed bed and breakfast and special events business relative to: traffic, parking for customers, noise from outdoor special events, hours and days of operation, the configuration of the dwelling to accommodate lodgers.
