Pleasant Grove, also known as Laura Ann Farm and Oakworld, is a historic home located near Palmyra, Fluvanna County, Virginia. It was built in 1854, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick dwelling with a low hipped roof. The house has a 1+12-story, shed roofed, frame lean-to addition. It features a four-bay pedimented front porch, a mousetooth cornice, architrave moldings, and a delicate stair with paneled spandrel.
