Carlbrook, Classical Revival estate in Halifax County, Virginia.

The stone dwelling features a central block with a hipped roof, flanked by stone wings and adorned with paired Corinthian columns at the entrance.

Richmond architect Luther P. Hartsook designed this residence, which was constructed between 1928 and 1930 during the challenging period of the Great Depression.

The Carlton family established a tradition of community support by hosting Sunday school excursions and opening their home to foster children in Halifax County.

The property encompasses 105 acres of land, including a stone garage, lake with spillway, stone bridges, garden features, and multiple outbuildings.

Local workers participated in the construction of the main house, known as the Rock House, providing employment opportunities during economic hardship.
