Fortsville, Historic mansion in Sussex County, Virginia.
The two-story house features a central section with three bays, accompanied by single-story wings extending from each side of the main structure.
Constructed in 1792, Fortsville served as the residence of John Y. Mason, who held the position of United States Secretary of the Navy during the 19th century.
The property exhibits architectural elements of the Palladian style, reflecting the design preferences of educated Virginia residents in the early 1800s.
Located at the intersection of VA 634 and 626 near Grizzard, the property spans across 100 acres of land in Sussex County.
The frame dwelling stands on its original brick foundation at the border between Sussex and Southampton counties, surrounded by flat agricultural fields.
