Lucky Hit is one of the oldest brick houses in southwestern Clarke County, Virginia. The double-pile (i.e. two rooms deep), central hallway house was built by Colonel Richard Kidder Meade around 1791, and was named by Meade in his belief that he had made a fortunate choice in his property. He previously resided at the log house Meadea.[3] His children, including Bishop William Meade[3] and Ann Randolph Meade Page,[4] who were raised on this plantation established plantations nearby; many of the historic houses remain today. This property stayed in the Meade family until 1869.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
