Willow Grove (Madison Mills, Virginia)

Willow Grove, also known as the Clark House, is a historic plantation house located near Madison Mills, Orange County, Virginia. The main brick section was built about 1848, and is connected to a frame wing dated to about 1787. The main section is a 2+12-story, six-bay, Greek Revival-style brick structure on a high basement. The front facade features a massive, 2+12-story, tetrastyle pedimented portico with Tuscan order columns, a full Tuscan entablature, an arched brick podium, and Chinese lattice railings. Also on the property are numerous 19th-century dependencies and farm buildings, including a two-story schoolhouse, a one-story weaving house, a smokehouse, and a frame-and-stone barn and stable.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
