  • Second East Hill Marker
  • The historical markers seem to indicate that the house is no longer in existence. Using the two historical markers (one pointing west and the other south) you can focus on a point where the house stood. I don't see the house still in existence there.<br /> Note: This photo is of Centre Hill Mansion, 1 Centre Hill Ave, a historic museum in Petersburg. Their website says it was originally built by the Bolling family in 1818. It is located near the site of Bollingbrook, and was apparently built by a family member who fought to repel the British invasion in 1781.
