Blakeley, also known as the Washington-Chew-Funkhouser House, is a historic house near Charles Town, West Virginia, built in 1820 by John Augustine Washington II, a great-nephew of George Washington. It was originally a Federal-style two-story brick house three bays wide; renovations in the 1940s enlarged it to five bays and added a two-story Doric portico, giving the building its present mix of Federal and Greek Revival features. The house takes its alternate name from the Washington, Chew, and Funkhouser families who successively owned it. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
