The George Earman House is an outstanding example of the creative carving, joinery, and painting that characterized farmhouses in the Valley of Virginia in the early 19th century. Hidden within an exceptionally plain, circa 1822 brick T house, this rich decoration reveals the persistence of the German influence after the traditional continental house forms had been abandoned for the popular Georgian models. The Earman House woodwork illustrates a blend of Federal designs with the German propensity towards flamboyant decoration. The local carpenter freely interpreted these pattern book motifs, carving them into more robust German manner and integrating them with more traditional local designs to create very personal compositions. The opulent, brightly colored marbleizing and graining that finishes the elaborate parlor woodwork was popular in the central Valley, but few examples of such complexity survive. Particularly distinctive about this painting are the sponge-work designs on the door and wainscot panels and the use of Bright colors to pick out details in the carved designs. - NRHP Registration, 8 July 1982
