Castlewood, also known as the Poindexter House and The Old Parsonage, is a historic plantation house located near Chesterfield, Chesterfield County, Virginia. It was built between about 1810 and 1820, and is a long, five-part frame house that was built in at least two or three stages. It consists of a two-story, one-bay-wide central section, flanked by 1 1/2-story, two-bay wings, connected to the main block by one-story, one-bay hyphens. Also on the property is a contributing frame, pyramidal roofed structure with a coved cornice that may have housed a dairy.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
