Kenmure, also known as the William Lamb House, is a historic home located at Norfolk, Virginia. It was built in 1845, and is a three-story, three-bay, Greek Revival style brick town house. It was expanded to its three-story height in 1855. It features a central one-bay dwarf portico and a low, hipped roof topped by a three-bay cupola.
