Westend, Classical Revival plantation house in Trevilians, Virginia.

The two-story brick residence features a tetrastyle Tuscan portico, one-story wings, and a hipped roof with prominent interior chimneys.

Mrs. Susan Dabney Morris Watson commissioned the construction of Westend in 1849 on inherited land, with Colonel James Magruder overseeing the project.

The house exhibits Jeffersonian architectural principles through its temple-front design and classical elements, reflecting mid-19th century Virginia building traditions.

The interior layout follows a central hall plan that splits into an entrance hall and stair hall, with symmetrically arranged rooms on both sides.

The original orangeries, constructed as one-story wings, remain intact and demonstrate the agricultural sophistication of 19th-century Virginia plantations.
