Back creek farm
Back Creek Farm is a historic home located near Dublin, Pulaski County, Virginia. It dates to the late-18th century, and is a two-story, five bay, brick I-house with a side gable roof. It has a two-story rear ell, sits on a rubble limestone basement, and has interior end chimneys with corbelled caps. The front facade features a pedimented tetrastyle Ionic order porch with an elegant frontispiece doorway with stop-fluted Corinthian order pilasters. Its builder, Joseph Cloyd (1742-1833), also built the nearby New Dublin Presbyterian Church. During the American Civil War, on May 9, 1864, the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain was fought on the property. The house served that day as a hospital and as headquarters for the Union General George Crook, under whose command were Captains Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley.
