Porto Bello, Colonial hunting lodge in York County, Virginia, United States.
Porto Bello stands as a two-story brick farmhouse with five primary structures including a residence, kitchen, and three additional outbuildings located near Queens Creek.
The property belonged to John Murray, the fourth Earl of Dunmore and last Royal Governor of Virginia, who acquired it in 1773 before the American Revolution.
The building received recognition through its listing in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, marking its role in Virginia's colonial period.
Located within Camp Peary Military Reservation, Porto Bello remains closed to public access due to security restrictions at the military facility.
A fire in 1915 led to substantial renovations that modified the original architectural design of this historic structure near the York River.
