50+ Years
Established in 1967, we’ve dedicated over half a century to preserving Petersburg’s history.
We are proud to announce the successful restoration of one of Petersburg’s most iconic landmarks — the historic Exchange Building. A treasured symbol of our city’s rich commercial and architectural legacy, the Exchange Building has stood at the heart of Old Towne Petersburg since 1841, serving as a marketplace, a cultural gathering place, and a testament to our community’s enduring spirit.
In collaboration with the City of Petersburg, the Petersburg Historic Foundation led this comprehensive restoration project with the utmost care and dedication to historical integrity. Our work has revitalized the building’s striking Greek Revival architecture, preserved its distinctive features, and ensured its continued use as a public space that honors the stories of our past.
This restoration marks not only the return of a beloved structure but also a renewed commitment to the preservation of Petersburg’s heritage. We invite residents and visitors alike to experience the restored Exchange Building — a place where history comes alive and the future of preservation takes root.
