About This Property

This property sits on the remnants of Fort Henry and is believed to be the original kitchen or servants' quarters for The Mt. View estate, built in 1900. From 1646 until around 1691, it was the only point in Virginia where Native Americans could be authorized to cross eastward into white territory, or whites westward into Native American territory. In later years it also came to be known as Fort Wood, after its first commander, Abraham Wood. Later, Wood's son-in-law, Peter Jones, took over the fort and ran a trading post which was the beginning of Petersburg. It is also in close proximity to Battersea, a colonial plantation built in 1768 for the first mayor of Petersburg, John Bannister, and is being meticulously restored by the Battersea Foundation.

805 Fort Henry St is a house located in Petersburg County and the 23803 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Petersburg City Public Schools attendance zone.

City - Petersburg

Petersburg sits just south of Richmond along the Appomattox River, carrying centuries of American history in its streets while steadily writing new chapters. The city played a pivotal role in both the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement — it was the first city in the nation to officially recognize Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a public holiday. Fort Gregg-Adams, a major U.S. Army installation, anchors the local economy and draws a steady stream of residents. Virginia State University, located nearby in Ettrick, adds an academic presence that shapes the cultural life of the area. Old Towne Petersburg draws people in with cobblestone alleys, repurposed historic buildings, and a thriving arts scene anchored by monthly gallery receptions.

Renters here find a genuine mix of housing options, from apartments carved out of 19th-century brick buildings with updated interiors to newer apartment communities built from the ground up with contemporary finishes.
