Glen Maury, also known as the Paxton Place and Elisha Paxton's house, is a historic home located in Rockbridge County, Virginia, near the independent city of Buena Vista. It was built between 1829 and 1832, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, brick dwelling. It sits on a high basement, made of native stone, and has a two-story rear ell addition. The front facade features a somewhat crude, two-story, Doric order Classical Revival portico with paired columns. The river side is dominated by a five-bay, two-story verandah with turned wooden posts and simple brackets. It was added about 1900.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
