Salisbury was a house and plantation in northwestern Chesterfield County, Virginia, in the Southside area of metropolitan Richmond. It was most likely built in the early 1760s by Abraham Salle, a descendant of Huguenot refugees, who assembled the original 1,500 acre tract between 1760 and 1763. The house passed through a series of prominent Virginia families, including statesman Patrick Henry, who rented it during two of his terms as governor, and Confederate Major General Edward Johnson, who farmed the property after the Civil War. The house burned down in 1923 after standing for more than 150 years, and the clubhouse of the later Salisbury Country Club was built near the site of the original main house.
