Aventine Hall, Greek Revival mansion in Luray, United States.

Aventine Hall features a tetrastyle portico extending along its facade, complemented by Corinthian columns and a hipped roof with a cupola.

Peter Borst constructed this residence in 1852, which later served as the main building of Luray College from 1925 to 1927.

The architectural design incorporates elements inspired by the Tower of the Winds in Athens, reflecting 19th-century American interpretations of classical Greek architecture.

The building underwent relocation to its current position in 1937 and continues to undergo restoration work to maintain its structural elements.

Four interior end chimneys and corner pilasters in the Tower of the Winds style distinguish this structure among Virginia's Greek Revival buildings.
