A Bit of Annandale History 

Annandale has a unique history that can be traced to pre-revolutionary times. In 1685, more than 24,000 acres of land were purchased by Colonel William H. Fitzhugh from Great Britain. His descendants would later name the land Ravensworth. Fitzhugh converted this untamed wilderness into one of Northern Virginia's largest tobacco plantations, which was farmed for more than six generations until portions of the land were slowly sold off.  

Upon Fitzhugh's death, his two eldest sons inherited the land. The northern portion of the inheritance included all of the land that is now Annandale. 

It wasn't until 1830 that the name Ravensworth was no longer used and this area was named Annandale, after the Annan River found in Scotland. 

Historical Mansions of Ravensworth 

Three great homes were built on this land during the 18th century, one of which is still standing today as a monument: Oak Hill, Ossian Hall, and Ravensworth. 

Oak Hill was built in 1779 and initially consisted of four very large rooms, two on each floor. The home was refurbished in 1936 and expanded to resemble one of the other Ravensworth mansions. It is the oldest of the three mansions and still stands on about four acres of land. It is privately owned and situated just off Wakefield Chapel Road, hidden by trees on all sides. 

Ossian Hall was built in 1783 by Nicholas Fitzhugh, son of Major Henry Fitzhugh. There is a belief that this home was actually built in 1730, but none of the Fitzhughs lived there at the time. Records show that the area it was built upon was actually leased to William and Daniel Talbot well past that date. Nicholas had more than 12 children and was the first of the Fitzhugh clan to live at this property. Ossian Hall faced what is now Braddock Road, right where Rosslyn Road and Royston Street intersect. The home was said to resemble Mount Vernon, and had many notable people visit it during the Colonial era, such as George Washington, the Marquis de Lafayette, and George Mason. Ossian Hall was burned to the ground on September 3, 1959, by Annandale's Fire Department to make way for the subdivision of Bristow. 

The third of these great mansions, Ravensworth, was built by William Fitzhugh in 1796. When Anna Maria Fitzhugh died, the mansion was used by Robert E. Lee's family as a summer home. The home had orders to be protected by both Confederate and Union sides during the war. The home was situated slightly southeast of what is now the intersection of Capital Beltway and Braddock Road. In 1925, the mansion mysteriously burned to the ground.
