Exchange Building (Petersburg, Virginia)

The Exchange Building, a historic commercial structure built in 1841 in Petersburg, Virginia, showcases stunning Greek Revival architecture and is one of the least-altered market halls from the 19th century. Originally established as a marketplace for local goods like tobacco and cotton, it now serves as the Petersburg Visitor Center and is set to host a new museum in 2021 that will explore the city's 400-year history. The building is a National Historic Landmark and features a striking four-column Doric portico and a large circular domed room, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in American history and architecture.
