Eltham Manor
Eltham Manor is a historic estate near Bassett, Virginia in Henry County. The brick house was built in 1936 for William McKinley Bassett and designed in the Colonial Revival style by architect William Roy Wallace. It is named after Eltham Plantation in Eltham, Virginia, whose home burned in 1879.
The main house is a 2½-story, five-bay central block flanked by two-story wings. The wings connect to a two-story garage and servants’ quarters on the north end and a one-story open-air pavilion on the south end. The front features a Doric portico with smooth two-story columns. The property also includes a barn and a lake, both dating to around 1936. The estate covers about 200 acres.
Eltham Manor was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1999, and is listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register (December 7, 2005).
