Rockfalls is a historic house at 7441 Rockfalls Drive in Richmond, Virginia. Built in 1936–37, it is a locally prominent early example of International Style architecture, based on designs by Edward Durell Stone published in Collier's. Its exterior is primarily granite and glass, the former probably quarried from a site on the grounds. It exhibits classical International elements including a lack of adornment, emphasis on horizontality, and clean lines with some rounded surfaces.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1]
