Huntingdon is a historic plantation house located at Roanoke, Virginia. It was built about 1819, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, five-bay, Federal style brick dwelling. It has a central-passage-plan and an integral two-story rear ell. The front and side elevations feature mid-19th century Greek Revival style porches. The house was restored and improved in 1988–1989, but is now in a state of total disrepair. Also on the property was a contributing family cemetery and an outbuilding believed to have been a slave house, that has since been torn down.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
