Centre Hill Museum, Greek Revival mansion in Petersburg, United States
The Centre Hill Museum features a two-story brick structure with six Greek Ionic order columns supporting a flat-roofed five-bay verandah at the front facade.
Built in 1823 by Revolutionary War veteran Robert Bolling IV, the mansion served as a Union headquarters and hosted meetings with President Lincoln in 1865.
The museum displays architectural elements from three distinct periods: early Federal style, Greek Revival, and later Colonial Revival modifications throughout the interior spaces.
The museum opens to visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours that showcase the preserved rooms, architectural features, and historical collections from Petersburg.
A tunnel constructed in the 1840s connects the back of the mansion to Henry Street, which enslaved individuals used for food transportation.
