Adam Thoroughgood House
One of the oldest homes in Virginia and the most interesting of the trio, this medieval English-style cottage sits on 4 1/2 acres of lawn and garden overlooking the Lynnhaven River. It was built around 1719 by one of Adam Thoroughgood's grandsons (historians believe its namesake didn't live in the house). The interior has exposed wood beams and whitewashed walls, and though the furnishings did not belong to the Thoroughgoods, they are original to the period and reflect the family's English ancestry.
