Elk Hill, Historic plantation house in Goochland County, Virginia.

The three-bay brick residence features a Tuscan order portico with paired wooden pillars and includes separate quarters, tack house, and spring house.

The plantation was occupied by Lord Cornwallis for ten days during the Revolutionary War, resulting in the capture of 27 slaves as prisoners.

The Greek Revival style mansion, constructed between 1835 and 1839 by tobacco merchant Randolph Harrison Jr, demonstrates the architectural preferences of Virginia's wealthy planters.

The property spans 35 acres east of Elk Island, positioned 0.8 miles from James River and 1700 feet south of State Route 608.

Since 1970, the former plantation has transformed into Elk Hill Farm, a residential program providing support and stability for young men.
