Huntley (plantation)

Residential Buildings

Huntley is an early nineteenth century Federal style villa and farm in the Hybla Valley area of Fairfax County, Virginia, overlooking what is now Huntley Meadows Park. It was built between 1820 and 1825 as the country residence of Thomson Francis Mason, a grandson of the Founding Father George Mason, following Masons 1817 marriage to Elizabeth Clapham Price. Originally built in an H shape with Greek Revival details, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places, the Virginia Landmarks Register and the Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites in 1972, and it reopened to the public in 2012 after restoration funded by the National Park Service and the Fairfax County Park Authority.
