The land was purchased in 1863 by William H. Torreyson of Unison, Virginia. Torreyson built the house in 1865 and used it as a tenant house. Around 1900, the house was enlarged to its current size. The last owner, Nelson Reeves, son of George Richard Reeves, Torreyson’s son-in-law, was born in this house in 1900. In 1910, the property passed to George Reeves. In 1924, father and son formed a partnership which lasted until the elder Reeves’ death in 1949. The property then passed on to Nelson and his wife, Louise, who continued to raise dairy cattle and crops until 1955. After the Reeves ceased farming, the land, except for the two acres on which the house stands, was sold off and subdivided. As for outbuildings, two remain on the property: the barn, which has been converted into a garage, and the milkhouse.〔Arlington County Register of Historic Places Historic District Designation Form - Name Of Property.
