Stony Creek Plantation, also known as Shell House, is a historic plantation house located at DeWitt, Dinwiddie County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1750, and is a -story, three-bay, center-hall plan house. It would have been built by enslaved African Americans. They likely cultivated tobacco and mixed crops by the time this plantation was developed.
A two-story perpendicular section was added in 1872, more than 120 years later and after the Civil War. The house is T-shaped and features massive brick chimneys.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
