Stratton Manor is a historic plantation house located near Cape Charles, Northampton County, Virginia. It was built in the third quarter of the 18th century, and is a 1+1⁄2-story, single-pile, gable roof house with a wood-frame core of three bays with brick ends. A two-story ell was added in the first quarter of the 20th century. It is a characteristic example of the 18th-century vernacular architecture distinctive of Virginia's Eastern Shore.[3]
The house has the name of Benjamin Stratton, the original owner of the site.[4] Stratton Manor was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
