Rockledge is a Georgian stone dwelling built around 1758–1760 in Occoquan, Prince William County, Virginia, for John Balladine, a wealthy local industrialist. Designed by William Buckland, a prominent colonial Chesapeake architect, the house exemplifies refined Georgian proportions and stands as a rare example of a Tidewater Virginia stone residence. Located near Washington, D.C., the home became the residence of several entrepreneurs who sought to develop Occoquan as a port and industrial center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
