This mansion was built in the Federal style, two stories high, with an elegant fanlight under the eaves. A mezuzah is displayed on its door post and the majority of the furnishings inside the house belonged to the original owners. The Myers family were some of the first Jews to settle in Norfolk, this mansion was owned by the Myers family until 1929. During Chanukah the menorah is lit as testimony of the world's first struggle for religious liberty.
