HISTORY
In 1865, Petersburg had just fallen and they awaited news of the surrender of Richmond, while discussing future plans for a reunified America. While Thomas Wallace had been an ally of President Lincoln’s in Congress, his wife was cousin to Confederate Lieutenant- General Abrose Powell Hill who had been killed in battle the day before. Though stricken with grief, the family welcomed President Lincoln and provided for seating accommodations for him and General Grant near the front door, where they conferred for hours before the ultimate surrender of Richmond. This is where the peace began!
Aside from the Wyatt House, every home worthy of a sitting President and his top General on the West side of the once bustling historic Market Street had been demolished except the Wallace House.
