Carter Hill is a historic home located near Lebanon, Russell County, Virginia. It was built in 1921–1922 for Dale Carter Lampkin and his widowed brother-in-law William Wallace Bird. The hilltop manor house was initially the seat of a 1,000 acre farm, now reduced to about 250 acres. The tall two-story, brick sheathed frame includes three bays and was built in the Colonial Revival style with Flemish bond brick veneer.
The side gable roof features green-glazed terra cotta tiles and pedimented and hipped dormer windows. It also has a projecting temple-fronted center bay, a hipped ell and several rear shed wings.
The front facade features a two-story pedimented portico supported by monumental cast iron columns with fluted shafts and Ionic order capitals. Also on the property is a contributing family cemetery.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
