Phillips Farm, also known as Percy-Pitt Farm, is a historic home located at Suffolk, Virginia. The farm house was built about 1820, and is a 30-feet square, 1 1/2-story, frame house. It has an English basement, gable roof, and features clerestory dormer windows. In 1848, a 13 feet by 30 feet addition was added to the west of the original structure. It is one of a few regional examples of a building commonly called a clerestory house or a clerestory dormer house.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
