Upper Wolfsnare

Upper Wolfsnare, a historic colonial-era brick home in Virginia Beach, was built around 1759 by Thomas Walke III in Georgian style. Originally known as Brick House Farm, it has a rich history tied to the Walke family, including Thomas Walke IV's role in the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The property, which once spanned 7,000 acres, is now a preserved site of 3 acres owned by the local historic society. Visitors can explore the house during limited summer tours, which features distinctive Flemish bond brickwork and elegant interior details. Its location near Wolf Snare Creek and proximity to modern developments adds to its unique charm and historical significance.
