Marmion, Colonial house in Comorn, United States.

The two-story frame structure features a clipped gable roof and two interior end chimneys with exposed shafts near Routes 649 and 609.

William Fitzhugh constructed the original section of Marmion around 1670, and the house underwent substantial modifications between 1790 and 1800.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired the painted decorative paneling from Marmion's seven-sided drawing room in 1916, preserving this colonial craftsmanship.

The property encompasses 329 acres and includes several auxiliary structures such as a smokehouse, dairy, kitchen, and office building.

Frances Benjamin Johnston photographed the interior of Marmion in 1935, documenting the fireplace and open cupboard with glass and metal dinnerware.
