From the NRHP application (see secondary link below):
"Federal Hill overlooks old Fredericksburg from a small hill at what once was the western edge of town. It originally was a large farm; today, however, it is a small plot of land with a large house and a gazebo set in a well-kept garden, sandwiched between a church and a factory."
and
"between 1796, when ... insured ... with the Mutual Assurance Society for $5000, and 1805, when it was insured for $7000". Escalating these two valuations to today would be $83,000-123,000 before some subsequent building additions. The now 7000 sq ft home is estimated to valued at around $1.7 million.
