description

Summary

Significance: The Fitzhugh family owned three grand houses in present-day Fairfax County: Oak Hill, Ravensworth, and Ossian Hall. Nicholas Fitzhugh built Ossian Hall on part of the Ravensworth land grant, and in 1804 Dr. David Stuart and his wife Eleanor Calvert Custis moved into the house.

The house was wood-frame with brick exterior end chimneys. It was two and one-half stories and covered by a gable roof. Dormers pierced the roof slope and all the windows were glazed with sash. The front and rear porches were added sometime after construction.

The fire department burned Ossian Hall as part of training exercise in September 1959.
