The Ravensworth Shopping Center, located on Port Royal Road in North Springfield, features a rich heritage in the Northern Virginia community. Centuries ago the Ravensworth Manor House stood in the Springfield area on what is now the popular Springfield shopping center. Built in 1796, the palatial Springfield estate was the home of Anna Maria Fitzhugh, the aunt of Mrs. Robert E. Lee, who resided at the Springfield mansion at the beginning of the Civil War. The Lee family inherited the Springfield estate after Fitzhugh's death in 1874 and continued to live there until the Springfield estate burned down in 1926. In 1957, the Springfield estate property was sold and was later developed into the area that is now the Ravensworth Shopping Center. Historical markers recalling the Springfield estate are presented on the sidewalk adjacent to the Ravensworth Shopping Center, which is now the home of a Lotte Plaza Market, a U.S. Post Office branch, numerous restaurants, service and retail stores.
