Level Loop, historic house in Virginia, United States
Level Loop is a historic brick house built around 1819 in Virginia for William Houston. The two-story building with five bays features Federal-style architecture, including fine woodwork and a carved mantel in the dining room that displays regional design elements.
The house was built in 1819 for William Houston, a relative of Texas pioneer Sam Houston from Rockbridge County. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 in recognition of its importance as an example of early Federal-style architecture and rural life after the American Revolution.
The property takes its name from a flat area of land shaped by nearby Hayes Creek. The surrounding landscape continues to reflect how natural features influenced settlement patterns and farm life in this region.
This is a privately owned residence and is not open for public tours. Visitors can view and photograph the property from public roads while respecting the privacy of the residents.
The property includes several 19th-century outbuildings, including a wooden smokehouse with a small cupola and an early outdoor kitchen, whose stone chimney remains visible today. These structures offer rare glimpses into the everyday farm infrastructure of that era.
