Woodburn (Charles City, Virginia)

Residential Buildings

Woodburn, also known as Woodbourne, is a historic plantation house near Charles City, Virginia, built about 1815 by John Tyler, who later served as the tenth President of the United States. The Palladian house is a three-part frame structure with a tall, two-story, three-bay central section beneath a gable-end facade, flanked by two low one-story wings, and the property also retains a contributing frame office from about 1830 and an original smokehouse. Tyler purchased Woodburn in 1813 when he married Letitia Christian, resided there until 1821 while serving in Congress, and later sold it to his brother Wat H. Tyler; the property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
