The Museum is housed in the "Old Stone House", built circa 1740〔Scott, Mary Wingfield, ''Houses of Old Richmond'', The Valentine Museum, Richmond, 1941, pp 7-10〕〔(Richmond: A Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary )〕 and cited as the oldest original building in Richmond.〔(APVA: Old Stone House )〕 It was built by Jacob Ege,〔Scott, Mary Wingfield, ''op. cit'' pp 7-10〕〔Ege, Rev. Thompson P, D.D., ''History and Genealogy of the Ege Family in the United States, 1738-1911'', Star Printing Co., Harrisburg, PA, 1911, pp 5-11〕 who immigrated from Germany to Philadelphia in 1738 and came to the James River Settlements and Col. Wm. Byrd's land grant (now known as Richmond) in the company of the family of his fiancée, Maria Dorothea Scheerer, whom he later married; the house was a "Home for the Bride."〔〔Ege, ''op. cit.'' pp 5-11〕 (One of Jacob's nephews, George Ege, was a member of the United States House of Representatives from Berks County, Pennsylvania.〔Ege, ''ibid,'' pp 76-78〕) Dendrochronology suggests that additional construction on the house occurred in 1754. Jacob Ege died in 1762.〔 Samuel Ege, the son of Jacob and a Richmond flour inspector, owned the house in 1782 when it first appeared on a tax register.〔〔(Scott Bergman, Sandi Bergman, ''Haunted Richmond: The Shadows of Shockoe'', Charleston 2007, p. 102 ) Google Books〕〔(Thompson Prettyman Ege: ''History and genealogy of the Ege family in the United States, 1738-1911'', New York, 1911 ) Google Books〕
In 1824, when the Marquis de Lafayette revisited Richmond, a volunteer company of young Richmonders, the Junior Morgan Riflemen, rode in procession along Lafayette's carriage. One of the riflemen, the then 15-year-old Edgar Allan Poe, stood as honorguard outside the Ege house as Lafayette visited its inhabitants.〔〔Keshia A. Case, Christopher P. Semtner: ''Edgar Allan Poe in Richmond'', Charleston etc., 2009, p. 31 ISBN 978-0-7385-6714-3〕〔Kenneth Silverman: ''Edgar A. Poe: Mournful and Never-Ending Remembrance'', New York, 1991, p. 24f. ISBN 0-06-092331-8〕 The house remained in possession of the Ege family until 1911.
