Monterosa, also known as Neptune Lodge, is a historic home located in Warrenton, Virginia. The original house was constructed about 1847–1848, and is a 2+12-story, stuccoed brick house with a gable roof and side-passage plan.

History

[edit]

The house has sustained several periods of alteration and now manifests the proportions and details of the Colonial Revival style. Also on the property are the contributing Italianate style brick stable (c. 1847); a brick smokehouse; and a two-story single-pile dwelling that dates from the late-19th century and is known as the Office.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
