Built circa 1828, Rokeby is a Federal-style, two-story house of Flemish-bond red brick construction, with a one-story portico sheltering the arched front entrance. In addition to its architectural integrity, the 50-acre estate is significant for its association with two men: Gustavus Brown Wallace, a member of a large extended family of social, political, and economic prominence in Virginia’s colonial and antebellum past, and Langbourne Meade Williams, one of Richmond’s most successful investment bankers in the early 20th century.
