Bunting Place

Bunting Place is a residential farmhouse in Wachapreague with a five-bay frame structure, brick end walls, and a raised foundation laid in Flemish bond pattern. The medium pitched gable roof showcases Federal style architectural details throughout the property.

The property was constructed in 1826 by merchant-planter Solomon Bunting and remained within his family for several decades. Ownership transferred to William S. Hope in 1870.

The property contains original beaded weatherboards and interior woodwork, painted to match the initial colors discovered through detailed paint analysis.

The private residence sits on a rural property along Drummondtown Road with several outbuildings scattered across the grounds. Since this is a private home, viewing is limited to exterior observation from public areas.

The house retains original beaded weatherboards and interior woodwork painted in colors carefully restored through detailed paint analysis. This meticulous approach reveals the craftsmanship typical of early American construction.
