Note:

William Eaton, the planter for whom Holt helped build a town house (Eaton Place) in Warrenton, probably employed Holt’s shop to constructed his plantation house, which stood on his 6,000-acre plantation near the Roanoke River; it featured the Holt hallmarks including a bracket cornice and bracketed porch.
