Although in neglected condition, Spring Hill was recognized as the finest 18th-century residence surviving in Greensville County at the time that it was listed in the Virginia and National registers. The construction date had not been documented, but the building was standing by 1786 when William Andrews operated a tavern here. George Washington visited the tavern in 1791 and noted it in his journal: “Breakfasted at one Andrews’ a small but decent House about a mile after passing the ford (or rather the bridge) over the Meherrin river. . . ” The original portion of the house was a two-story, side-passage dwelling that remained sheathed with early beaded weatherboards. The passage contained an unusually fine Georgian stair with vase-and-column balusters and what may have been an original grained finish. Two early outbuildings remained on the Spring Hill grounds. The house served as a girls’ school in the mid-19th-century when it was owned by Mary G. Jane Johnson.

The house at Spring Hill caved-in and was subsequently burned in 1999, and the property was subsequently delisted from the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 and from the Virginia Landmarks Register in 2008.
