Midway is a rambling Albemarle County farmhouse exhibiting many features characteristic of the region's early 19th-century vernacular architecture. Dominated by a long, two-story gallery, the picturesque structure is nestled in the rolling hills of the western part of the county, with the Blue Ridge Mountains forming a scenic backdrop. The scene forms a classic picture of the pastoral beauty for which Albemarle County is famous. Formerly part of a large Colonial grant, the property was long the seat of the Rodeses, one of the county's prominent landed families. - NRHP, 19 September 1978
