"The Friend House" Petersburg Things to Do Tip by b1bob

At the top of Cockade Alley, to your left, stands the Nathaniel Friend House. It was built for him in 1816. Friend was an early mayor of the city. It is a three-storey double townhouse with dormers and a slate roof. On the first floor of the Bollingbrook side were two stores (as of April, 2010 a therapeutic massage centre and a sushi restaurant), while above them were two flats finished with woodwork and mantles. The whole structure was built in Flemish bond and was valued at more than $20000 (that was a pretty penny back then).

Address: Bollingbrook St., Petersburg, VA 23803
