Galemont is a historic home located at Broad Run, Fauquier County, Virginia. It was built between 1778 and 1817, as a {{frac|1|1|2}}-story, two-room, stone hall-and-parlor-plan residence with a one-room cellar. It was expanded about 1857, and included Federal / Greek Revival-style details. In 1872, a new I-plan house was built less than 20 feet east of the original house, and connected to make one large, multi-period building with transverse center halls. It was further enlarged in 1903, with a connection to the stone kitchen and two-story wing. The later additions added a Folk Victorian style to the house. Also on the property are the contributing garage, silo, old shed, pond, a fieldstone wall (c. 1824), and two archaeological sites: the 1852 Broad Run Train Depot site and an intact segment of the Thoroughfare Gap Road.{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Fauquier/030-0521_Galemont_2012_NRHP_Draft_REVIEW.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Galemont |author1=Stephen Fonzo |author2=David Brown |author3=Thane Harpole |date=March 2012 |publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140224105956/http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Fauquier/030-0521_Galemont_2012_NRHP_Draft_REVIEW.pdf |archivedate=2014-02-24 }} and [http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/SlideShows/BoardMeetings/2012%20June/galemont.html Accompanying photos]
