General Info

Built by Virginia businessman, James W. Roper in 1833, Oakleigh is a remarkable example of historic preservation, as it has been adapted and preserved by the four families who lived here. As one of the first major residences to be built outside of the city limits, historians cite Oakleigh as one of the rarest examples of Greek revival architecture in the United States. And our tour is just as distinct- come experience it today. Walk-in tours are available Tuesday-Saturday from 10-4. Tours start on the hour.Built by Virginia businessman, James W.
