Lynnhaven House

Francis Thelaball II built his house with its massive chimneys in 1725. Typical of early colonial planters' homes, the Lynnhaven House features a hall-parlor plan with molded ceiling joists and a closed string Jacobean-type stair. Furnishings reflect the early eighteenth century.

In the modern bustling resort city of Virginia Beach, in a lovely, peaceful country-like setting serenely stands a true monument to the 18th century. Lynnhaven House still breathes the air of the life that it knew in 1725 when it was so soundly constructed. This small but stately brick structure was built near the waters of the Lynnhaven River and the Chesapeake Bay. Costumed docents conduct tours of the House and grounds as guests arrive. On the grounds are gardens and a small Revolutionary War graveyard.
