Marmion is a historic home located near Comorn, King George County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1670 by William Fitzhugh (1651-1701), progenitor of the Fitzhugh family in Virginia. It took its present form after 1790 or 1800. The house is a frame, two-story house with a clipped gable roof and two interior end chimneys with exposed chimney shafts. Also on the property are the contributing smokehouse, dairy, kitchen, and office.[2]
The ornately painted decorative paneling from the house's distinctive seven-sided drawing room was sold to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1916.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
