CALDWELL CARR HOUSE located in the center of Upperville was built on land purchased in 1797 by Joseph Carr, the founder of Upperville. The red brick house was completed in 1800 and was the first house in the sparsely settled village to boast of some of the elegance of a house "in" town. The old mantels, doors and window frames are constructed entirely without nails. The kitchen has an unusually large cooking fireplace and two built-in warming ovens. In 1810, the house was occupied by Joseph Carr's oldest son, Caldwell Carr who together with his wife, is buried on the property. The house has just been completely renovated by its present owner offering, not only the old charm, but state of the art modern conveniences. The property is further enhanced by an adjoining duplex presenting many varied uses such as an office, in-law apartment, nanny quarters or rental units.
