Peers House, Historic building in Appomattox Court House, United States
The Peers House stands as a two-story structure with a brick raised basement, measuring thirty-four feet wide by eighteen feet deep in Appomattox County.
During the Civil War surrender in 1865, Confederate troops passed by the house and stacked their arms near the property owned by George Peers.
The house represents the architectural style of mid-nineteenth century rural Virginia, featuring single step external end chimneys and narrow wood siding.
The structure, registered in the National Park Service database, underwent complete renovation in 1954 and now serves as staff housing within the park.
The last Confederate artillery shot of Northern Virginia occurred near this house, resulting in the death of Lieutenant Hiram Clark.
