Architectural Building Attractions In Mecklenburg County

  • 1. Bacon's Castle Surry
    Bacon's Castle, also variously known as Allen's Brick House or the Arthur Allen House is located in Surry County, Virginia, United States, and is the oldest documented brick dwelling in what is now the United States. Built in 1665, it is noted as an extremely rare example of Jacobean architecture in the New World. The house became known as Bacon's Castle because it was occupied as a fort or castle by the followers of Nathaniel Bacon during Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. However, contrary to popular folklore, Bacon never lived at Bacon's Castle, nor is he even known to have visited it. Today Bacon's Castle is an historic house museum and historic site open for guest visitation. Bacon's Castle is an official Preservation Virginia historic site and operates under its 501 not-for-profit status.
