Oakley is a historic home and farm located near Upperville, Fauquier County, Virginia.
It was built between 1853 and 1857, and is a -story, three-bay, T-shaped brick Italianate style dwelling with a cross-gable roof. The house sits on an English basement and features tall decorative paneled chimneys, semi-hexagonal bays in each gable end, a central two-story pavilion, and a glazed cupola. Also on the property are the contributing original smokehouse and an early building, possibly a tenant house.
The house was built by Colonel Richard Henry Dulany and the property is located near the site of the Upperville Colt & Horse Show first held in June 1852. It remains the oldest such event in America.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
