The Hermitage, Colonial farmhouse in Virginia Beach, United States.
The Hermitage features a one-and-a-half story wood frame structure with four bays and multiple architectural elements from different construction periods.
The initial section of the house was constructed in 1699 by John Thoroughgood, with subsequent expansions in 1820 and 1940 that doubled the building size.
The property includes preserved elements such as original heart-pine flooring and a 1700s door that display early American building techniques.
Located at coordinates 36.8889° N, -76.1203° W, this private residence stands near the Thoroughgood House and contains three outbuildings plus a brick cistern.
The property maintained a working farm until the 1950s and includes a garage that previously served as housing for enslaved persons or a stable.
