This is the former “Home for Needy Confederate Women” located behind
the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. In 1898, Virginia charted a home for destitute widows of Confederate
soldiers. That original structure burned and was replaced by this
building. It was occupied continuously by widows or daughters of
soldiers until, in 1989, the board of the home decided to close and the house passed to The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts who now uses it for classrooms.
