Notes
  • Significance: The first house on the Henry Hill site was built by Thomas King in 1812. In 1822 the property was acquired by the Henry family. On 21 July 1861 the First Battle of Bull Run was fought in the immediate vicinity of the house. Family matriarch Judith Henry was killed, the only civilian casualty of the battle. On 13 Jun 1865 the nation's first Civil War monument was dedicated by Union veterans adjacent to the house site. The present house, a two-story, gable-end, vernacular dwelling, was constructed in 1870 partially overlapping the original house site. Built of wood frame construction on a fieldstone foundation, the Henry House originally consisted of two rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs, with an external chimney centered on the north gable. By 1883 an addition had been constructed at the north end of the house, adding another room to each floor, and including a cellar. By the 1890s the Henry family was charging visitors for tours of the battlefield. The house was bought by the Sons of Confederate Veterans in 1922 for use as a visitors center. In 1940 the Henry House was donated to the National Park Service, to become part of Manassas Battlefield Park.
