Alexander Black House, Victorian house in Blacksburg, United States.
The Alexander Black House features steep cross-gabled roofs, gingerbread trim, towers, and vertical windows typical of Queen Anne architecture from 1897.
Built after a fire destroyed the original residence, this house belonged to Alexander Black, a descendant of Samuel Black who acquired the land where Blacksburg stands.
The first and second floors contain rotating exhibits about local art, history, and cultural heritage, serving as a center for community education.
Located near downtown Blacksburg with available parking, the museum offers guided tours explaining the history of the house and its former residents.
The structure survived demolition plans in 2002 when the town relocated it to Draper Road and transformed it into a museum through extensive restoration.
