Bloomsbury Farm was an eighteenth century timber framed house in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, among the oldest privately owned residences in the county, originally built by the Robinson family sometime between 1785 and 1790. It was architecturally significant for its eighteenth century construction methods and decorative elements, and its location was also significant as the site of the last engagement between Confederate and Union forces in the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House on May 19, 1864. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in May 2000, the house was demolished in December 2014 by a nearby resident who had purchased the property months earlier, reportedly to restore it, citing the poor condition of the building and public safety; the farm was removed from the National Register in 2017.
