Winterham is a historic plantation house located near Winterham and Amelia Courthouse, Amelia County, Virginia. It was built about 1855, and is a two-story, frame house with a hipped roof in the Italian Villa style. It has four original porches and a cross-hall plan. Also on the property are a contributing late-19th century farm dependency and early-20th century garage. It is the only known Virginia building by Thomas Tabb Giles, a significant amateur architect, and William Percival, a significant professional architect. Giles was the son of Governor William Branch Giles, who owned Wigwam. A set of original architectural drawings are housed at the Virginia Historical Society. The house is used as a bed and breakfast.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
