Lee Hall
Newport News, United States
The village of Lee Hall, built after the arrival of the C & O Railway in the 1880’s, took its name from the fine residence begun in 1848 by Richard Decatur Lee overlooking his extensive Warwick County Plantation. Lee Hall became the headquarters of the Confederate General, John B. Magruder, in April and May 1862, during the Civil War Peninsula Campaign. The house is privately owned today.
