Chelsea (West Point, Virginia)
Chelsea is a historic home located near West Point, King William County, Virginia. It was built in 1709, and consists of a two-story, brick main block with a hipped roof and 1 1/2-story, gambrel roofed rear ell. In 1764, Thomas Jefferson attended the wedding of an old friend, John Walker, at Chelsea;〔http://www.westpointguide.com/chelseaplantation.htm〕 sources commonly say (and Jefferson eventually, in 1805, seemed to acknowledge) that he later repeatedly made improper advances to his friend's wife, all of which she rejected.〔see, for example, Jon Meacham, "Thomas Jefferson: the Art of Power", Random House, 2012〕 In 1781, shortly before the Battle of Yorktown, Lafayette's army camped at Chelsea, and the Marquis de Lafayette used the house as his headquarters.〔 and (''Accompanying photo'' )〕
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.〔
