Judge William J. Robertson House is a historic home located at Charlottesville, Virginia. It was built in 1859, and is a two-story, roughly rectangular, brick dwelling with elements of the Italianate and Gothic Revival styles. It has rendered walls scored to simulate ashlar masonry, a hip-and-gable roof with broadly overhanging gable eaves supported by large decoratively carved brackets, and one-story wings and porches. It was built by Justice William J. Robertson (1817-1898), who was the "acknowledged leader of the Virginia bar" during the second half of the 19th century.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
