Blenheim is a historic home located near Wakefield Corner, Westmoreland County, Virginia. It was built about 1781, and is a two-story, three-bay, Late Georgian style brick dwelling. It has a gable roof and two-story, frame wing. The house was built by the Washington family to replace the original family house at Wakefield soon after it burned on Christmas Day, 1779. The house was built for William Augustine Washington, the son of George Washington's half-brother Augustine Washington II.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
