Just learned about this interesting little house at VA State because of a new designation (having to do with Identity). Not technically in Petersburg but "Ettrick" and Petersburg strangely claim each other for cultural/history reasons.
VA State is one of VA's prettier campuses set up on a hlll overlooking Petersburg. This isn't even the best example of International Style/Midcentury Modern in the Petersburg area but the woman who designed it for herself certainly was -- she went up to Colombia U for her Masters degree and later Stated the Fine Arts Dept at VA State. She was from Lynchburg originally.
