I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- EVIEW_050926_21.JPG: The Dairy Building:
In the South, dairy builders were small structures, usually 14 feet square with a gable roof. The buildings' overhanging eaves, louvered ventilators, and insulated walls were designed to keep the milk cool inside. Mike was placed in shallow tubs for approximately ten hours until the cream separated and rose to the surface. Slaves collected the cream and churned it into butter. Dairy buildings were a measure of affluence, as milk, butter, and cream were luxuries of the planter class.
Captain Samuel Matthews, Sr. established Matthews Manor (later renamed Denbigh Plantation) on the banks of the Warwick River near Deep Creek in 1625. Matthews was a prominent Virginian who commanded the colony's militia and server as a member of the governor's counsel. The Digges family purchased the property in 1720 and built this dairy building, c. 1740. By 1813, Richard Young acquired Denbigh Plantation, which remained in the family's possession until the property was sold to a developer in 1963. After extensive archaeological work, a subdivision was constructed in the 1970s. The City of Newport News acquired the daily building and moved it to Endview Plantation in 1999.
- Wikipedia Description: Endview Plantation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Endview Plantation is a 17th century plantation which is currently located on Virginia State Route 238 in the Lee Hall community in the northwestern area of the independent city of Newport News, Virginia.
History
Earlier known as the Harwood Plantation, the house was built in 1769 by William Harwood along the Great Warwick Road, which linked the colonial capital of Williamsburg with the town of Hampton on the harbor of Hampton Roads. The 238-year-old house and grounds were used by military forces during the Revolutionary War. General Thomas Nelson, Jr.'s Virginia Militia used it as a resting place on September 28, 1781, en route to Yorktown shortly before the surrender of the British troops under Lord Cornwallis.
Military use again came during the War of 1812 and the American Civil War. Then the home of Dr. Humphrey Harwood Curtis, Jr., one of two doctors in Warwick County, Virginia, Endview also served as a hospital during the 1862 Peninsula Campaign of the Civil War.
Endview was acquired by the City of Newport News in 1995. Endview Plantation is the home of "The Civil War at Endview: A Living History Museum". The property has been used for military reenactments including events related to the 225th anniversary of the Siege of Yorktown which was held in 2006. As of Summer 2010, operating hours have been cut back so that the site is closed to the public Tuesday and Wednesday.
Media
Endview Plantation was featured on Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy in the episode "America After Dark". Self-proclaimed redneck comedian Larry the Cable Guy visited the plantation with Southeast Virginia Paranormal Investigations, a local paranormal team and joined them in investigating the house. They group couldn't declare the house haunted however, they did gather evidence of possible paranormal activity, such as EVP's of several strange noises and ghost voices on their digital recorders.
