The Columbia building at 1142 W. Grace St. has gone into foreclosure, and an auction is set for Dec. 12 at the Richmond City Circuit Courthouse. In its almost 200-year history, the building has housed the prominent Haxall family, a Confederate hospital, a University of Richmond department and, most recently, office tenants.
It’s listing on the National Registry for Historic Places states the house only briefly served as a Confederate hospital before turning into a Union barracks. I’m equally intrigued and freaked out by living in a former Confederate hospital no matter how brief.
As a sidenote quick research on the internet and you’ll see that there were Confederate hospitals scattered throughout the city. Full list in pdf form or an online list.
