'''Cobbs Hall''' is a historic [[Plantation house in the Southern United States|plantation house]] located at [[Kilmarnock, Virginia|Kilmarnock]], [[Northumberland County, Virginia]].  It was built in 1853, on the foundations of an earlier dwelling of the same design. It is a two-story, five-bay, double pile brick dwelling with a gable roof. The front and rear facades feature similar porches supported by [[Tuscan order]] columns.  The ends have two semi-exterior end chimneys flanking the peak of the gable.  Also on the property are the contributing Cobbs Hall graveyard containing Lee family remains, the remains of a {{frac|1|1|2}}-story brick dwelling, and a brick meat house. Cobbs Hall is one of the noted Northern Neck plantations associated with the Lee family of Virginia since the middle of the 17th century.<ref name="vaNRHPnom">{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Northumberland/066-0003_Cobbs_Hall_2001_Final_Nomintation.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Cobbs Hall|author=J.
