Pitts Neck, also known as Pitts Neck Farm, is a historic home located near New Church, Accomack County, Virginia. It consists of a two-story, five-bay, brick main block connected to a 1+1⁄2-story, two-bay frame wing connected by a hyphen. The wing dates to the beginning of the 18th century and the main block to about 25–30 years later. The main block has a central passage plan and is topped by a shallow gable roof. It features a scrolled soffit of its molded brick doorway.[3]
