House Ruins
An island entrepreneur or owner likely resided in this 2 1/2-story house which once stood on this foundation. Owners and workers both resided on the island. Other dwellings included four large 2-story structures, five 2-story brick tenements, and five 1 1/2-story wooden cottages.
The 1850 census reveals about 200 people living on Virginius Island. Only ruins remain of their homes.
Marker can be reached from Shenandoah Street (Business U.S. 340), on the right when traveling east.
