Rutland was the home of the Timberlake family for 200 years, built circa 1790-1810 as a one-and-one-half-story hall-and-parlor house. July 12-21, 1862, Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart headquartered in the house, with an encampment of 3,000 cavalry. After the Civil War, it was enlarged in the Italianate style, and was named Rutland. The Virginia Central Railroad and Atlee's Station were built, by 1850, on the southwestern edge of the property, and, in the 1930s, U.S. Rt. 301 bisected its fields. Originally located 800 yards southeast, near the present Atlee-Chamberlayne road intersection, the house was relocated to this site in 2007 by developer HHHunt, and remodeled for community use.
