Wheatland, Historic plantation house in Callao, United States.
Wheatland is a Federal style residence in Callao featuring a two-and-a-half-story main block flanked by symmetrical one-and-a-half-story wings. The property sits on about 12 acres and includes several historic outbuildings such as a kitchen, office, barn, tenant house, smokehouse, and two additional dwellings.
The house was built between 1848 and 1850 during a period of agricultural growth in Virginia. Recognition came later with its listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register in 1986 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The main house displays Greek Revival and Federal architectural styles that blend together across its porches and facades. Visitors can see how design choices reflected the wealth and taste of the plantation owners during the 1800s.
The property is visible and accessible from public roads in a rural area of Northumberland County. Visitors should check in advance whether the house is open for tours since it remains a private residence.
The house displays uncommon architectural details from the early Victorian era that are rarely found in other buildings from this period in the region. These specific design features make it an important example of architectural development in the Mid-Atlantic.
