[[Category:Addresses]]
The house, once part of a 551 acre estate, is believed to have been built for [[John Winn]] by [[John Jordan]], a brick mason for [[Thomas Jefferson]]. It is similar to other buildings built by Jordan, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stono Stono], in Lexington, Virginia. With its center pavilion with lower symmetrical side wings, the ''Winn House'' illustrates Jefferson's influence on Jordan. The details of the house are of the Greek Revival and Federal periods as it was built during the transition between the two. <ref> https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/va1465/ Historic American Buildings Survey.
