His son Richard (c.1740-1821) developed {{convert|1746|acre|ha}} near the mineral springs that gave the property its name and built the two-story frame house. The property stands in an unusually fertile region of central Virginia, surrounded by a number of 18th and 19th century farms and plantations. The district has been designated a National Historic Landmark district, comprising about {{convert|14000|acre|ha}} under scenic easement protection.[3][4] DescriptionThe main house is a two-story frame structure with a compact plan. The house forgoes the typical Virginia central-hall plan, employing instead a simple four-room plan on the main floor, with the stairs relegated to a small space at the rear. The two front rooms each have their own entry in the five-bay main elevation. The rear has received a shed-roofed addition, and a two-story frame addition has been added on the west side of the house. The interior features its original woodwork, using simple shapes and patterns. The property includes a number of barns and other dependencies.[3] The Morris familyColonel Richard Morris held a number of public offices, including Commissary for the Commonwealth, and was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1788. Morris operated a small resort at the Green Springs with two houses, an icehouse, servants' quarters, a blacksmith shop and utility buildings, which were abandoned by Richard's son and heir James Maury Morris.[3] Green Springs was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 1972.[2] It is a component of the Green Springs National Historic Landmark District.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Virginia Landmarks Register|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources|accessdate=5 June 2013}} 2. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|last=Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission Staff|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: Green Springs|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Louisa/054-0057_Green_Springs_1972_Final_Nomination.pdf|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=20 October 2011|date=May 1972}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|last=Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission Staff|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: Green Springs Historic District|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Louisa/054-0111_Green_Springs_Rural_Historic_District_1973_Final_Nomination.pdf|accessdate=19 October 2011|date=February 1973}} External links
