WILLOUGHBY-BAYLOR HOUSE

NORFOLK, VA

The Willoughby-Baylor House is a historic home located in Norfolk, Virginia. Built in the late 18th century, it is a two-story brick home with a central hall plan and a hipped roof. The house is notable for its distinctive Federal-style architecture, which includes a symmetrical facade with a pedimented entrance, a fanlight above the door, and finely crafted moldings and trim.

The interior of the Willoughby-Baylor House features a simple but elegant design, with high ceilings, large windows, and spacious rooms. The first floor includes a formal living room, a dining room, and a library, while the second floor features four bedrooms and a central hall.

The house was originally owned by the Willoughby family, who were prominent landowners in the area. In the early 19th century, it was purchased by the Baylor family, who made several modifications to the house, including the addition of a rear ell and a kitchen wing.

Today, the Willoughby-Baylor House is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public for tours. It is recognized as one of the best examples of Federal-style architecture in Virginia and is a valuable resource for historians and architectural enthusiasts alike.
