Lansdowne (Urbanna, Virginia)

Lansdowne is a historic house in Urbanna, Virginia, built around 1740 in the Early Georgian style. This two-story, T-shaped brick dwelling features a prominent pedimented portico and is notable for its association with diplomat Arthur Lee, who played a key role in the American Revolutionary War by negotiating the Treaty of Alliance with France. Lee is buried on the property, which is part of the Urbanna Historic District and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in American history.
