Ellerslie is a historic home located at Colonial Heights, Virginia. In 1839, David Dunlop and his wife, Anna Mercer Minge, a niece of U.S. President William Henry Harrison, acquired the Ellerslie tract. Robert Young, a Belfast architect, designed Ellerslie in 1856 as a castellated mansion for tobacco magnate David Dunlop. The mansion was built in 1857, and in 1910 Dunlop’s grandson engaged the Richmond architectural firm of Carneal and Johnston to extensively remodel it, in a fanciful version of the Bungaloid style, retaining the house’s basic structure and tower but replacing the original flat roof and castellated parapet with a hipped roof and dormers. It is a 2 ¹⁄₂-story, hip-roofed, Italian Villa style dwelling with a two-story rear service wing connected by an arcade. It features a three-story tower with a hipped roof and a full-width front porch.
