Red Hill Main House

Ink drawing depicting the main house during Patrick Henry's residency at Red Hill.

Henry spent the final years of his life in this building. Purchasing the land from Richard Marot Booker on March 14, 1794, Patrick Henry, his second wife, Dorothea Dandridge, and their nine children moved into the home. The house was built before their move sometime after Booker purchased Red Hill in 1772. Henry fathered two more children at Red Hill before dying in June 1799.

After the death of Dorothea in 1831, the house underwent several renovations by their children and descendants until it was destroyed in a fire in February 1919.
