Built by Thomas Walke III circa 1759, Upper Wolfsnare is an original Georgian-style house. His son and subsequent owner was one of the two local local representatives to the Virginia Convention of 1788. It was this body that decided Virginia would ratify the recently drafted Constitution of the United States. The house reflects the gentry class lifestyle of its builder and a visit will take you back in time to the day when the Walke family was in residence. The house is currently owned by the Princess Anne County/Virginia Beach Historical Society and serves as an example of the soceity's commitment to preserving the history of Virginia Beach and the Former Princess Anne County.
