Brandon-on-the-Dan is a historic estate at 1072 Calvary Road (Virginia State Route 119), overlooking the Dan River in rural western Halifax County, Virginia. The estate includes an early log house, and a c. 1855 Greek Revival wood-frame main house that received an extensive Craftsman-style alteration in 1915 by North Carolina master craftsman Thomas Day. The 200-acre (81 ha) also includes a large African-American cemetery, and a log tobacco barn; the latter is distinctive as an example of modern log construction.[2]
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1]
