Glenwood is a historic plantation estate located at 7040 Philpott Road (United States Route 58) southwest of South Boston, Halifax County, Virginia. The main house was completed about 1861, and is a distinctive combination of mid-19th century architectural styles. The main house is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof. The cornice has Italianate brackets, and the main entrance is framed by sidelights and a transom window with Gothic tracery. The interior features an fine Gothic staircase. Attached to the rear of the house by a hyphen is an earlier 19th-century log house.[2]
