Rose Hill is the location of one of the oldest and least-altered buildings in Southampton County, Virginia. Located near Capron, the Federal style house was built in the early 19th century by Henry Blow, on land his father had acquired from the local Nottoway Indians in 1792. The site is also of archaeological interest, with documented native uses into the 20th century.[2]
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
