Powhatan, Historic villa in Five Forks, Virginia, United States.
Located in James City County, Powhatan stands as a two-story Georgian brick dwelling with a hipped roof and T-shaped chimneys spanning 250 acres.
Richard Taliaferro, who lived from 1705 to 1779, designed and constructed this residence around 1750, incorporating prevalent architectural elements of the period.
The Georgian architecture of Powhatan represents the colonial period construction methods, with its symmetrical structure and characteristic brick patterns.
The property, registered under reference number 70000803, sits north of Routes 615 and 5 intersection, maintaining its original structural features.
Despite enduring significant fire damage during the Civil War, the house underwent complete restoration in 1948, preserving its architectural integrity.
