The Cedars, also known as Cocke's Tavern and The Casino, is a historic home located near Greenwood, Albemarle County, Virginia. It was built about 1850–1860, and is a large, two-story, five-bay, hipped-roof brick house in the Greek Revival style. It has a full grade-level basement, paired gable end chimneys, and prominent front and back porches. The front porch is two-stories and has a striking pediment. Also on the property is a contributing kitchen / servants quarter. The house has served as a residence, a boys' school, Civil War hospital, tanyard business and gambling casino, as well as (possibly) a tavern. It is considered one of the most architecturally distinguished antebellum houses in western Albemarle County.^[3]

There have been some claims of ghost sightings and haunted activities on the property.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.^[1]
