Historic Oliphant home on Main Street in Petersburg. The former home of Civil War Colonel W.A. Oliphant. The house is trimmed in beautiful and intricate oak woodwork, bannisters and flooring. Ornamental fireplaces and special touches that you won't find in contemporary structures! At least four bedrooms, two bath and a three car garage. New roof was put on in 2013. Former President Grover Cleveland, a close family friend, is believed to have stayed in the house, reportedly, several times.
