- The Arjalon Price House
“Charles Spoe, a tenant of the Spotswood lands, build the Price House in 1733. In 1739, Arjalon Prince rented the land from Spoe and later purchased it from the Spotswood family in 1767.
The Price House represents the typical eighteenth century structure that mixed old and new building techniques. The most common housing structures during the early part of the eighteenth Century in Virginia were small one or two room structures, build of heavy fames and set on sills.
The house was saved from demolition by moving it from its original site near the village of Rapidan to the James Madison Museum.
The Price House is the only surviving structure in Orange County that has changed little from it 1733 form.” James Madison Museum Hall of Agriculture
