Burlington is a historic plantation house near Barboursville, Orange County, Virginia, built in 1851 and 1852 by James Barbour Newman, nephew of Governor James Barbour. It is a two-story, three-bay, T-shaped residence with a shallow hipped roof in the Greek Revival style, following a traditional I-house plan with an ell addition. The front facade carries a portico with six Greek Ionic columns and a plain entablature, and the house has a Jeffersonian Chinese lattice balcony cantilevered on the second floor. Its exterior and interior detailing derives almost entirely from Asher Benjamin's The Practical House Carpenter, in its 1830 edition.
