East Belmont, building in Virginia, United States
East Belmont is a historic building in Virginia comprising an original wooden dwelling from around 1811-1814 and a brick addition built in 1834 in Federal style. The property spans roughly 281 acres and includes several outbuildings such as a 19th-century cornbin, an early 20th-century stone and wood barn, and a henhouse from the same period.
East Belmont was built around 1811-1814 as a wooden house and was originally part of the larger Belmont Plantation before being divided into separate estates in 1811. A more formal brick house in Federal style was added in 1834, and the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
The site is located in a quiet rural area near Keswick and is easily accessible for visitors interested in early 19th-century architecture. The open layout allows for a pleasant walk across the grounds where you can see the various buildings from different periods.
The property was originally part of the larger Belmont Plantation but was divided in 1811 to create separate family estates. This division was a common way at the time to manage large farms in Virginia and distribute land ownership among family members.
