Montpelier is a historic plantation house located near Sperryville, Rappahannock County, Virginia. The main house was built about 1750, and is a two-story, 11 bay, stuccoed stone and brick dwelling with a side gable roof. It consists of a five-bay main block with north and south three bay wings. It features a two-story verandah stretching the entire length of the house with eight large provincial Tuscan order columns. The property also includes the contributing smokehouse, storage house, and a frame cabin.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
