Glen Arvon, originally known as Glenarvon, is a historic plantation house and farm located near Bremo Bluff, Fluvanna County, Virginia. The main house was built in 1836, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick dwelling in the Greek Revival style. It measures 50 feet by 40 feet and is topped by a shallow hipped roof with balustrade. The front facade features a two-story Greek Doric order portico. Also on the property is the contributing two-story, brick servant's house. The house is a twin of Point of Fork, as they were built by brothers William and James Galt.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
