The Glebe of Fairfax Parish was a 500-acre (200 ha) farm established in 1775 which included the Glebe House. Glebe lands were public lands set aside in colonial times for the support of the established Anglican church. These glebe lands were for the benefit of Fairfax Parish and the original house served as the rectory, or dwelling house for the minister.
It has also been known as Glebe House of Fairfax Parish and is listed as Virginia Department of Historic Resources with number 000-0003 (?).
It was a home of Caleb Cushing.
A conservation easement was established in 2005.
