Thomas Wallace House
Thomas Wallace House, Historic Civil War residence in Petersburg, United States.
The Thomas Wallace House features a two-story brick structure with a raised basement, hipped roof, and six fluted Greek Doric columns supporting the front porch.
President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant held their final meeting at this house on April 3, 1865, discussing the conclusion of the Civil War.
The Italianate architectural design of the house reflects the preferences of Petersburg's upper class during the antebellum period of the 1850s.
Located at the intersection of Brown and South Market Streets, the property includes an early twentieth-century cast iron fence and granite curbing around its perimeter.
Two symmetrical southern magnolia trees frame the entrance walkway, while a pecan tree marks the northwest corner of this National Register of Historic Places site.
