Effingham is a historic home and national historic district located at Aden, Prince William County, Virginia. It was built about 1777, and is a large, two-story, five-bay, Tidewater-style, frame residence set on a raised basement. It features a massive, exterior, brick, double chimney joined by a pent closet at each end of the structure. Also included in the district are a brown sandstone blacksmith shop, a smokehouse and former slaves' quarters, as well as a terraced garden that is reputed to be one of the earliest in Virginia.[2]
