Mason House, also known as the Hinman-Mason House, is an historic dwelling located at Guilford in Accomack County, Virginia.[3] Trees were cut for its construction in the winter of 1729/30 and construction likely started soon thereafter.[4]
The house is an early example of one laid out with a center passage.[5]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
