Kenwood is a historic 18th century property at 7437 Kenwood Lane in Gloucester, Virginia. The centerpiece of Kenwood is a three-story house, built in several stages of wood framing and brick. The oldest portion of the house is a Federal style wood frame section set on a brick foundation, with later Italianate brick and frame additions. The property also includes a period 19th century smokehouse and cook's quarters, along with other 20th century outbuildings. There is also remnants of a brick making facility at the far end of the property, near a tributary of Crany Creek.[2]
