White House (Brentsville, Virginia)

Location
  
12320 Bristow Rd., Brentsville, Virginia

The White House in Brentsville, Virginia was built in 1822. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

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, said to have been the first post-mistress in either Prince William County, or the State of Virginia, and is believed to have been a social gathering place. Lived in from 1941 through the 1990s by Agnes Webster and her family (rented to the John Curd family in 1959-1962)

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.
