Ossian Hall (Fairfax County, Va. : Estate)
Ossian Hall was an 18th-century plantation house in Annandale, Virginia. It was built on the Ravensworth land grant by Nicholas Fitzhugh. In 1804, Dr. David Stuart, a commissioner for the Federal City, purchased Ossian Hall and relocated there with his wife, Eleanor Calvert Custis Stuart, and their children. (Eleanor Stuart was, through her first husband, a grandchild-in-law of George and Martha Washington.)
Other notable residents include Francis Asbury Dickins, a Washington attorney and Joseph L. Bristow, an American politician from Kansas. Ossian Hall was burned in 1959 as a training exercise for the Annandale Fire Department.
