Exchange Building, Greek Revival market hall in Petersburg, United States
The Exchange Building features a grand circular domed room supported by substantial piers, with five pilastered bays adorning each side of the structure.
Constructed in 1841 by local businessmen, the Exchange Building served as a marketplace for trading tobacco and cotton, with regular public auctions.
The structure represents one of the most complete examples of nineteenth-century market halls, displaying classical Greek Revival architectural elements throughout its design.
The Petersburg Visitor's Center operates on the first floor, providing information and resources about the region to tourists and local residents.
