History

The Willoughby–Baylor House is a historic home located at Norfolk, Virginia. It was built about 1794, and is a two-story, three-bay, brick detached townhouse with a gable roof. It features a Greek Revival style doorway and porch supported on two pairs of Greek Doric order columns. These features were added in the mid-1820s. It was built by William Willoughby (1758–1800), a local merchant and building contractor. The building used to be open as a historic house museum operated by the Chrysler Museum of Art, but closed in 2020.
