Rochester House is a historic home located near Lyells, Westmoreland County, Virginia. It was built in 1746, and is a one-story, two-bay, one-room Colonial plan dwelling. It measures 20 feet by 16 feet. It features a steeply pitched gable roof and a large exterior end chimney with a T-shaped stack. It was used continuously as a residence until 1935, when a larger house was constructed on the property. Also on the property is a contributing late-18th to mid-19th century plank corn crib. The Rochester family owned the property from 1689 until 1798. Nathaniel Rochester, founder of Rochester, New York, was a grandson of its builder, William Rochester.
