Rokeby (King George, Virginia)


Rokeby is a historic home located at King George, King George County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1828, and is a two-story, three bay Federal style brick dwelling. It has a low hipped roof, tripartite windows, lintel-type
window heads, and elliptical, leaded-glass fanlight with flanking sidelights. The original block was
enlarged about 1912 by a pair of flanking two-story, frame pavilions, and in 1917, the west wing was substantially enlarged. Also on the property are the contributing antebellum smokehouse and a complex of buildings built in 1917-1920: schoolhouse; summer / tenant house; playhouse; garage; Sears, Roebuck catalog-ordered horse barn; sheep barn; and cattle run-in shed.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
