The Oak Hill is a historic plantation house located at Colonial Heights, Virginia. It was built in 1825–1826, and is a one-story, frame dwelling with Greek Revival style interior decorative details. It originally had an "H" shape, but was subsequently expanded with several additions. It features a distinctive elongated octagonal wing at the west end, inspired by nearby Violet Bank.[3]
