History
The main building at Oak Lawn was constructed in 1822 for Nimrod Bramham, a Charlottesville merchant and member of the House of Delegates. The design and construction of the two-story brick house were the product of James Dinsmore. When Bramham died in 1847, the property passed into the Fife family. Much of the property was subdivided in 1888 in the "Fife's Lots" project and developed into the neighborhood of Fifeville. [1]
Oak Lawn is currently owned by former Charlottesville Mayor Nancy O'Brien. as of December 2018
