Patrick Henry's Law Office - Red Hill




When Patrick Henry moved to Red Hill in 1794, he was in semi-retirement from his law practice. Having served as Governor of Virginia for five terms, and in failing health, Henry saw some clients here but used the office chiefly to instruct his sons, nephews, and a grandson in the law. The building may also have been occasionally used to house guests of the Henry family.

  1. Is the fireplace in the middle or is it two rooms? It looks so tiny for a lawyers office, lol.

  2. there's another room on the other side of the fire place, with a bed...but that room is even smaller! even his house was quite small. it seems like he was a simple kind of guy!
