About this property

George Crossman House is an historic home located in the East Falls Church section of Arlington, Virginia. It was built in 1892 by George Grant Crossman for his bride Mary Ellen (Nellie) Dodge of Lewinsville, Virginia. They married on April 7, 1892. The house was once part of a 60-acre (24 ha) dairy farm in what was then rural Northern Virginia. The Crossman Farm's dairy products were sold to local neighbors as well as to the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Association. The Crossman's son William helped operate the farm and later assumed ownership and management of the house and dairy operation, which was one of the last dairy farms in Arlington County. The East Falls Church neighborhood was part of the city of Falls Church until 1936. The Crossman Farm property included the house and several outbuildings, including two barns which no longer exist. The street running in front of the house was known as Crossman Street until its name was changed to North Underwood Street in 1935. The dairy was closed by 1949 and the land was sold by the Crossman Family in 1954. A portion of the property became the Tuckahoe Gardens subdivision. Tuckahoe Elementary School and Bishop O'Connell High School stand on land that was once part of the Crossman Farm.
