Broad Bay Manor in Virginia Beach is a historic manor house which is purportedly the oldest extant European-built house in the southeastern United States. Thomas Allen built the small center portion of the current larger house in either circa 1640 or 1660 of Flemish bond brick on land granted to him by Governor Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr. It is still a private residence and is located in the Broad Bay Colony part of northeastern Virginia Beach [1]
