Massie House, also known as Oak Grove, was a historic home located at Falling Spring, Alleghany County, Virginia. It was built in two phases in 1825–1826, and was a double-pile, two-story, five bay, wood-frame house on a brick foundation in the Federal style. The main entrance featured the original paneled double-doors ornamented with small Chinese and Gothic motifs, flanked by sidelights and topped by a segmental fanlight.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
In 2018, the tract of land including Massie House was sold in a court-ordered auction.[4] By 2020, Massie House had been demolished.[5]
