George Crossman House is an historic home located in the East Falls Church section of Arlington, Virginia. It was built in 1892 by George Grant Crossman for his new bride Nellie Dodge of Lewinsville, VA. George Crossman was the son of Isaac Crossman who played an important role in developing the city of Falls Church. The house was once part of a 60-acre (24 ha) dairy farm in what was then rural Northern Virginia. The Crossman Farm's dairy products was sold to local neighbors as well as to the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Association. The Crossman's son William C. helped operate the farm and later assumed ownership and management of the house and dairy operation following the death of his parents. The Crossman Dairy was the last dairy farm in Arlington County. The house was originally located in the section of Falls Church that broke off in 1936 to become the East Falls Church section of Arlington County. The dairy farm was closed by 1950 and the land was sold in 1954 and divided. Today, Tuckahoe Elementary School and Bishop O'Connell High School stand on land that was once part of the Crossman Dairy Farm.
