Ravensworth (plantation)

Residential Buildings

Ravensworth was an eighteenth-century plantation house near Annandale in Fairfax County, Virginia, built in 1796 as the Northern Virginia residence of the Fitzhugh family and later home to members of the related Custis and Lee families, including William Henry Fitzhugh Lee and George Washington Custis Lee. The mansion burned in a fire of unexplained origin on August 1, 1926, and its grounds were developed into a residential subdivision beginning in 1957.
