Vaucluse, Historic plantation house in Bridgetown, United States.
The two-story brick and frame structure features a gable roof and includes a connecting kitchen with distinctive brick ends at its sides.
Built around 1784, Vaucluse expanded with additions in 1829 and served as residence for Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur until 1844.
The architectural design combines late 18th-century building techniques with early 19th-century modifications, reflecting the evolution of Virginia plantation houses.
Located south of routes 619 and 657 intersection, the property extends across 1000 acres of Northampton County land.
The structure contains an original 1.5-story quarter kitchen with brick ends, connected to the main house through an 1889 annex.
