National Register of Historic Places - Scott House (Additional Documentation) / (Frederic W. Scott House; Scott-Bocock House; VDHR # 127-0228-0001)
Statement of Significant: The Scott-Bocock House is eligible under Criterion C (Architecture; Art) with statewide significance for the architectural design by prominent Richmond firm, Noland & Baskervill, and the interior plasterwork and sculpture by Ferruccio Legnaioli; it is also eligible under Criterion B (Conservation) for its association with the Scott family of Richmond, specifically Mary Wingfield Scott and Elisabeth Scott-Bocock, who were important early preservationists in the city. The architecture firm and sculptor are both significant within the history of design in Richmond, and the Beaux-Arts residence they created is highly unusual in terms of scale and style within the context of Virginia. The period of significance begins in 1902, the date construction began on the carriage house, and extends to the 50-year cutoff, 1957, as the Scott family was still involved with preservation and living in this house well past 1957.
