Verville is a historic plantation house located near Merry Point, Lancaster County, Virginia. It was built about 1742, and is a 1 1/2-story, brick Colonial style dwelling. It has a single-pile, central-passage plan. The gambrel roof and all woodwork was changed to conform with Federal style tastes in the late-18th or early-19th century.[3]
At the time Verville House was built, it was on the historic Barford Plantation that was established by Capt. Thomas Carter. His great grandson Edward had sold it to James Gordon Sr. in 1782. [4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
