Ginter House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ginter House is the historic 1892 former residence of Lewis Ginter.[1] It is owned by Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and is home to the provost's office. It was used as Richmond's first public library from 1925 until 1930, was used as part of a school, and was the main administrative building on the Monroe Park, Virginia campus of VCU for more than 40 years.[2][3] In September 2020, the University’s Board of Visitors voted to de-commemorate several buildings on campus named for members of the Confederacy including the Lewis Ginter house.[4] The house is now simply known as the "VCU Administration Building".[5]
