Cherry Walk, Corn Crib, Dunbrooke Road (Route 620), 2.25 miles north of Richmond Highway (U.S. Route 360), Millers Tavern, Essex County, Virginia
Summary
Significance: Erected after ca. 1845, the Corn Crib is an excellent, intact example of the types of outbuildings found on an average, well-developed early nineteenth century Chesapeake farmstead. As such, the Corn Crib includes both an outer room for shelling and an inner room for corn storage. With its prim farmer's house and large collection of carefully constructed support buildings, Cherry Walk remains as a remarkably intact example of the highly respectable sort of farmstead that successful landowners below the level of grandees strove to create beginning in the decades after the Revolutionary War and well into the nineteenth century.
