Notes for PETER DEMRY:

Virginia Historic Landemarks Commission

Historic Name: Elizabeth Harding House

Common Name: Oliver Binney House

County/Town/City: Loudon County

Street address or route number: Route 671

Date or period: Mid 19th c.

The original log house appears to have been a two-room plan, 1-1/2 story structure with exterior end stone and stucco chimneys. Logs are V-notched. Hewn floor joists are exposed. The cellar joists are untrimmed and the plank flooring appears original. A stone, 1-1/2 story addition has a cooking fireplace in an interior end stone and stucco chimney. A new roof and much of the second floor of the log section is modern. The interior has been extensively remodeled and exterior additions have altered the original character of the building.

The house is designated as the "E. Harding" house on the Yardley Taylor Map of Loudon County in 1854. Elizabeth Harding bought the property from Peter Demory in 1843. (D.B.2A,p.385).

Directions to the Farmstead from Leesburg: Turn onto route 9 and head west toward Mechanicsburg. At Mechanicburgs, turn north onto route 671. About one-half mile up on the left you should spot the Salem Church cemetery. About another half mile further is a gravel road on the right side. The gravel road has a pair of corner fences with the word "Farfield" carved into a rail. Head down this gravel road. You should first pass a barn-like structure on the left, then a house on the right. Go to the end of the gravel road. There you will find the log cabin on the left of the driveway.
