Conner House, Historic stone residence in Manassas Park, United States
Conner House is a two-story stone building with a gable roof in Manassas Park, featuring an additional wing attached to the main section. The structure demonstrates traditional construction techniques and uses stone materials that were available in the area.
The building was constructed in the early decades of the 19th century, when the region was still shaped by rural settlement patterns. During the Civil War, General Joseph E. Johnston used the house as a military command center from summer through fall in 1861.
The house shows how early settlers in Virginia built and lived, with stone walls and craftsmanship visible today. The way it was constructed from local materials reflects building traditions that were passed down through generations in this region.
The house sits on Conner Drive and is visible from the road, though it remains in private ownership. The location is easily accessible and the building's condition is maintained through protections from the national historic registry.
This is the only building in Manassas Park to be listed in the national historic registry, even though the city has other historically important sites. This distinction makes it a special anchor for preserving the city's early history.
