Chambliss Law Office, c. 1897 (Robert Utterback House) |
The house known as the Chambliss Law Office was constructed c. 1897 as a residential dwelling by Robert V. Utterback, at a time when the community was still recovering from the Civil War. Washington Star reporter, "The Rambler," described the property in 1921 as a yellow house surrounded by a clean clipped lawn and beds of bright flowers. |
The two-story Colonial-Revival style dwelling has an L-plan layout that is three bays wide on the primary fascade. A pedimented porch, extending from the front door with transom, is supported by Doric columns. Gable-end cornice returns, interior-end chimneys, and a low stone foundation are present. The siding was recently replaced. |
This Chambliss Law Office building, located at 13923 Braddock Road in Historic Centreville, is listed on the Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites. |
