The James Madison Museum in Orange Co Va To honor Madison the farmer, the museum’s Hall of Transportation & Agriculture displays features the Arjalon Price House. The house is a partial reconstruction from all original remains. The reconstruction serves to demonstrate a typical 1733 "cube" 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, built 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. The interior of the house was restored by the Museum. The original staircase and doorway can be seen in the house and remain in good condition. The house was partially restored to it's1775 appearance, after being saved by the James Madison Museum. Later additions to the house can be seen in the above picture. The original 1733 house is located on the right. 18th Century Plat of the Price property showing the house.
