Greenfield is a historic plantation house located near Charlotte Court House, Charlotte County, Virginia. It was built in 1771 as the main residence of Isaac Read (1739–1777), a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. It is a frame dwelling consisting of a five-bay, single-pile, two-story main section flanked by two-bay one-story wings. It is topped by a shallow gable roof and the rear elevation features a full-width shed roof gallery.[2]
One of its former owners was Thomas Jackson Charlton IV, a physician from Savannah, Georgia. He inherited it from his mother-in-law.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
