Roxbury is a historic home located near Oak Grove, Westmoreland County, Virginia. It was built in 1861, and is a two-story, "T"-shaped frame dwelling with a two-bay front section and three-bay rear wing. It features a one-story front porch supported on coupled, bracketed columns; steeply pitched gable roofs with deep projecting eaves and gables; two large gabled dormers; and sawnwork ornaments. Each wing has a central chimney with four square stacks joined at their corbelled caps.
