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: (1) schoolhouse; (2) summer / tenant house; (3) playhouse; (4) garage; (5) Sears, Roebuck catalog-ordered horse barn; (6) sheep barn; and (7) cattle run-in shed.
