Cleydael, Historic plantation house in King George County, Virginia, United States.
The two-story frame dwelling includes five bays, a metal gable roof, and a wraparound porch situated on a 7.5-acre property near Weedonville.
Built in 1859 as a summer residence for Dr. Richard Stuart, Cleydael became a notable location during the Civil War when General Lee's daughters sought refuge there.
The Virginia Department of Historic Resources registered Cleydael in 1986, recognizing its architectural features and connection to significant Civil War period events.
The private residence stands visible from VA 206 but remains closed to public access, requiring visitors to observe the structure from designated viewing areas.
Dr. Stuart denied medical treatment to John Wilkes Booth at Cleydael on April 23, 1865, following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
