The Bellwood Club was built between
1797 and 1804.It served as the manor
house on the plantation which at present day Defense Supply Center Richmond occupies. When the U.S. Army purchased
the property in 1941 from the last private land owner, Mr. James Bellwood, the
manor house was turned into an officers' club. The structure, although
renovated and adapted for use; by the military, still retains much of its
original architecture, including its original pine flooring, paneled doors,
stairs, ornamental locks and doorknobs, and window frames.
