Site 44GL103, Quest End, is a historic home and archaeological site located at Selden, Gloucester County, Virginia. The property includes a two-story, frame house and late 19th/early 20th century farm complex, with barn and smokehouse, known since the mid-20th century as Quest End. It was the site of an early colonial plantation. The property includes an early 18th-century brick foundation measuring 36 feet by 20 feet with a partially plastered cellar. The first historic occupation likely followed an initial patent in 1666 by Tobias Hansford.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
