The Thoroughgood House is a brick house located at 1636 Parish Road, in the neighborhood of Thoroughgood, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States.
The building underwent major restorations in 1923 and in the 1950s and has served as a museum since opening to the public April 29, 1957.
A 2004 grant application to the National Park Service resulted in a $150,000 award from the prestigious Save America's Treasures program.
[6] Adam Thoroughgood (1604–1640), an indentured servant who arrived in Virginia in 1622, became a community leader, a member of the House of Burgesses at Jamestown, and was granted a headright of 5,350 acres (21.7 km2) in 1635.
It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, as a prime example of early colonial architecture in Virginia.
