Note: Built for Arthur Allen and his family in 1665, Bacon’s Castle is the oldest brick dwelling in North America. Originally known as Allen’s Brick House, it became known as “Bacon’s Castle” in 1676, after several of Nathaniel Bacon’s men occupied the home for four months during the uprising that became known as Bacon’s Rebellion. It is rare example of the High Jacobean style in The United States.
