HOUSE OF THE WEEK | The seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom house has Civil War ties.
The manor house at Rockburn Farm in Marshall, Va., has been expanded and renovated repeatedly over hundreds of years, and it was rebuilt completely after a fire during the Civil War destroyed everything but a stone wall bearing the year 1828.The Glascock family, prominent Virginia landowners, bought the property in 1771 and, in the late 1820s, built the two-story frame house that burned during the war.
Hubert B. Phipps was editor and publisher of Virginia newspapers including the Fauquier Democrat and the Loudoun Times-Mirror. In his free time, he bred race horses and raised cattle at Rockburn Farm. And he expanded the house in the 1950s, adding a two-story stone wing with a mansard roof, a white stucco entrance hall and an English Regency-style facade, according to real estate agent Cricket Bedford.
Bedford remarked on “how old this house is” and on its “many owners.” “But its integrity is being left intact,” she said. “Its vernacular is that of a true Virginia hunt country home.”The property, now on the market for $7.45 million, has a three-story main house with a finished lower level, and there are several other structures.
