Bacon's Castle SAH ARCHIPEDIA

Often cited as one of the earliest surviving brick houses in America, Bacon's Castle certainly is one of the country's finest extant examples of seventeenth-century domestic architecture. The house known as Bacon's Castle was constructed c. 1665 for English immigrant Arthur Allen on the 200 acres he had patented in 1649. In 1676 the followers of Nathaniel Bacon, who organized a revolt against Governor William Berkeley, occupied the house after burning Jamestown. Bacon probably never visited the Allen House, but his name has been attached to it for over 300 years.
