Herbert House

Herbert House is a two-story brick and frame structure situated on Armstrong Point where Hampton River and Sunset Creek meet. The location offers views toward the waterways near Hampton Roads.

The house was constructed in 1753 and remained in the Herbert family through multiple generations. Captain Thomas Herbert served in the Virginia navy during the American Revolution.

The structure displays carefully executed brickwork and proportions typical of 18th century Virginia residential design. Visitors can observe the craftsmanship in the facade that reflects the building methods of that era.

The house sits at the eastern end of Marina Road and is accessible by public streets. As a private residence, visitors should respect the owner's privacy.

The building survived Hampton's Civil War destruction due to its remote location outside the town center. Its isolated setting on the peninsula protected it from wartime damage.
