Trevanion is a 2+1⁄2-story brick dwelling with an asymmetrical central hall plan with a tower. The original 1817 house was converted in 1855 to the "villa style" and was then popular in America, incorporating a combination of Italianate and Gothic architecture elements. Reflecting this is a brick tower and an adjoining gable end projection. In 1857, a 3+1⁄2-story wing was added. "Trevanion" is a family name and a term meaning "the meeting of streams" in Welsh.[2] The farm was previously known as "Brick Mills", and was owned by the family of slave trader George Kephart, who may have been born there.[3][4]
Trevanion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
