Berry Hill is a historic home and farm complex located near Danville, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, United States.[3] The main house was built in several sections during the 19th and early 20th centuries, taking its present form about 1910. The original section of the main house consists of a two-story, three-bay structure connected by a hyphen to a 1+1⁄2-story wing set perpendicular to the main block. Connected by a hyphen is a one-story, single-cell wing probably built in the 1840s. Enveloping the front wall and the hyphen of the original house is a large, two-story structure built about 1910 with a shallow gambrel roof with bell-cast eaves. Located on the property are a large assemblage of contributing outbuildings including the former kitchen/laundry, the "lumber shed," the smokehouse, the dairy, a small gable-roofed log cabin, a chicken house, a log slave house, log corn crib, and a log stable.[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
