Carlbrook is a historic home and estate located at Halifax, Halifax County, Virginia, United States. It was designed by Richmond architect Luther P. Hartsook and built in 1928–1930. The Carlsbrook house is a 2+1⁄2-story stone dwelling consisting of a hipped roof, five bay, central block and flanking one bay stone wings. The front facade features a recessed entrance with paired Corinthian order columns and a sandstone arch in the Classical Revival style. Also on the property are the contributing elaborate stone garage, a lake with a stone spillway, stone bridges and garden features, and several smaller outbuildings.[3]
