The William Beers House

This town house is the sole reminder of the former residential character of the downtown portion of Richmond ’s Broad Street, and is listed on both the state and national registers of historic places. It also serves as an architectural link between its two nationally significant neighbors: Monumental Church and the Egyptian Building. Dating from 1839, the house was built for William Beers, a merchant tailor. The original gable roof was removed in 1860 and replaced with a full third-story topped by an Italianate cornice. A complete restoration of the Beers House was completed in 2003. The house now serves as the headquarters for the Medical College of Virginia Foundation.
