Centre Hill Museum, Greek Revival mansion in Petersburg, United States

Centre Hill Museum is a two-story brick building with six Greek Ionic columns supporting a flat-roofed five-bay front verandah. The structure features a mix of classical design elements alongside later modifications visible throughout the interior rooms.

The building was constructed in 1823 by Robert Bolling IV, a Revolutionary War veteran, and later served as a Union headquarters. During the post-war years, it witnessed key events that shaped its place in the community's history.

The building displays architectural elements from three distinct periods: early Federal style, Greek Revival, and later Colonial Revival modifications in the interior spaces. These layers reflect how the house adapted to changing tastes over generations.

The site welcomes visitors throughout the year with guided tours through the preserved rooms and collections. Be prepared to climb stairs, as the tour covers multiple levels of the building.

A tunnel built in the 1840s connects the back of the mansion to Henry Street below. This underground passage reveals a practical aspect of daily operations at the property during its early years.
