Waverly, also known as Waverley, is a historic house located near Middleburg, Fauquier County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1790, and later enlarged about 1830, and enlarged and remodeled in the 1850s. It is a single-pile, center-hall, two-story dwelling, a typical example of an I-house. It has a long, two-story rear ell and has Gothic Revival style decorative detailing. The front facade features a full-width two-story portico with six square piers supporting a flat roof with a plain wooden parapet. The house was renovated after 1940 by noted architect David Adler.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
Peyton House, built during 1831-34 in Raymond, Mississippi, appears to have been modeled upon Waverly.[4][5]
