Blenheim, Greek Revival mansion in Albemarle County, Virginia, United States.

The main house features tetrastyle porches with Doric order piers and a gable roof extending to an ell at the west end.

The property housed British officers during the American Revolution and was later rebuilt by diplomat Andrew Stevenson in 1846.

The estate includes a Greek Revival structure called the Athenaeum, a one-story frame building topped with a pyramidal hipped roof.

The property contains multiple functional buildings including a frame kitchen, laundry facilities, a chapel, and two separate smoke houses.

A dedicated residence on the grounds was constructed specifically for visits from Supreme Court Justice Roger B. Taney.
