William Gunnell House, Colonial residence in Great Falls, Virginia.
William Gunnell House is a residential property in Great Falls, Virginia, constructed over two building phases with a timber frame and one-and-a-half-story main section. The site also includes a separate log house and features original wells that remain visible on the grounds.
The main dwelling was built around 1750 and represents early American residential architecture of that era. The separate log house dates from 1770 and shows how settlement patterns developed in the region.
The residence demonstrates the evolution of Colonial architecture, with its careful restoration completed after 1933 following Colonial Revival preservation methods.
The property is privately owned, so visitors can only view it from the outside, which allows a look at the historic structure and grounds. It is best to visit during daytime hours to see the architectural details and original wells on the property clearly.
The building incorporates distinct architectural elements from different periods, including original Colonial features and compatible twentieth-century additions.
