The White House in Brentsville, Virginia was built in 1822. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
It is significant as "the finest example of Federal, residential architecture in Brentsville, Virginia" and is probably the oldest surviving house in the village. It was first the home of a prominent widow, and is believed to have been a social gathering place.[3]:9
The house is a two story Federal style gabled brick building, with double chimneys at each end. The brickwork is Flemish bond on the front and 5 course American bond in the rear.[3]:4
