View from back porch of Visitor’s Center looking at Mansion

Located in Fairfax City, VA, Historic Blenheim House is a 1859
brick house designed in Greek Revival Style.  During the American Civil
War, Union soldiers were often encamped on the grounds surrounding the
house and utilized it as part of a reserved hospital system.  As a
result more than 115 of the soldiers inscribed words and pictures on the
first and second floor walls as well as the attic of the house.  Catering By Teatime has been fortunate to cater both wedding receptions as well as business meetings at this Fairfax City venue.  It is a step back in time right and a step into history. www.weddingsinfairfax.com

Recreation of Mansion Attic in Visitor’s Center

A visitor’s center has recently been built on the property with a
museum and a recreation of the attic walls.  These walls are covered with soldier’s signatures.  There is also a lovely
space available for parties, whether it be wedding reception,
anniversary party, business gathering as we catered last night for a
local law firm and customer appreciation event. There are few venues in
the heart of Fairfax County Virginia that offer such amenities.

Grand Room for entertaining

With beautiful hard wood floors, and a covered deck that runs
along the side of the building, the property can also be tented to
accommodate much large crowds.  Our event was 80 guests and there was
ample room to mingle.

Bow Tie Pasta

The menu included Chilled Jumbo Shrimp, Grilled Garlic Lime
Chicken, Grilled Sesame Flank Steak, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, and Bow
Tie Pasta Salad with Sun Dried Tomato-Feta Cheese-Fresh Dill-Snow Peas.

Silver Dollar Crab Cakes

Passed Appetizers included Stuffed Mushrooms with Spicy Sausage
Filling and Herb Cheese Filling.  Also passed were Silver Dollar Crab
Cakes w/ Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce.

It was a balmy spring night in Northern Virginia, temperatures in
the high 70’s, making a stroll around the property a must see! www.fairfax.va.gov/MuseumVC/CivilWarInterpretiveCenter.asp
