William Gunnell House, Greek Revival residence in Fairfax, United States.
The William Gunnell House stands as a T-shaped structure with a brick raised-basement, weatherboard covering, and an original central dogleg staircase at 10520 Main Street.
William Gunnell III purchased 676 acres from Bryan Fairfax in 1791, establishing a plantation that grew to over 1,000 acres with more than 40 workers.
The house represents the transformation of Upper Potomac agriculture from subsistence farming to plantations and later to small family farms over multiple generations.
The property functions as an administrative office for Truro Anglican Church while maintaining its status as a contributing structure to the City of Fairfax Historic District.
During the Civil War in 1863, Confederate John S. Mosby conducted a raid at this location, capturing Union Brigadier General Edwin Stoughton.
