It was built in the Palladian style about 1794 by Dr. Richard Feild for his bride Ann Meade, on land the groom bought from his father-in-law. The Edinburgh educated physician also had considerable knowledge of botany and astronomy, edited The Intelligencer and Petersburg Commercial Advertiser, and three times served as a Presidential elector. Although Feild died in 1829, the plantation stayed in the family until 1870. The one-story brick structure has a central pavilion with flanking wings connected by hyphens in a late-Georgian style. A stone addition was built about 1860, a brick room added in 1947, and a frame enclosed porch about 1953.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Virginia Landmarks Register|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm|accessdate=2013-05-12}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Virginia}}{{BrunswickCountyVA-NRHP-stub}}2. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Brunswick/012-0013_Hobson%27s_Choice_1980_Final_Nomination.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Hobson's Choice |author=Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission Staff |date=November 1979}} and Accompanying photo 6 : Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Virginia|Palladian Revival architecture in Virginia|Houses completed in 1794|Houses in Brunswick County, Virginia|National Register of Historic Places in Brunswick County, Virginia|1794 establishments in Virginia |
