06,07.09 Historic Blenheim
3610 Old Lee Highway, Fairfax, Virginia
"Blenheim," a brick home, was built by REZEN WILLCOXON about 1858, to replace an earlier frame dwelling.This 12-acre former farm, includes a cemetery for several generations of the Willcoxon family who lived here. Blenheim is renown for its outstanding examples of Civil War soldier graffiti.
It is currently being restored. The day we were there, a recent tropical storm had left many downed trees, but no damage to the structures.
