National Register of Historic Places - William Beers House

Statement of Significant: This Greek Revival townhouse was built in 1839 by William Beers, a merchant tailor, and was owned by the Beers family until 1872. The only other family who lived there for any length of time was the Morris Nelson family who owned the house from 1883 until 1909. In 1965 the house was acquired by the Medical College of Virginia which now uses it for offices. While the Beers House is not especially distinguished in a historic sense, its location on the corner of College and Broad Streets make it an integral link in a group of historic buildings in the Medical College of Virginia area. Directly above the Beers House, on Broad Street, is Monumental Church; below it is the African Baptist Church; and behind it is the Egyptian Building. The Beers House is also the last remaining early house on Broad Street west of Shockhoe Valley.
