Strawberry Hill is a historic home located at Petersburg, Virginia. The original section was built about 1795, with a two-story central section flanked by one-story wings ias a tripartite house n the Federal style. It was subsequently enlarged in 1818 and expanded through the early-20th century to be a rambling two-story, U-shaped frame building 90 feet long by 56 feet deep. The house was divided into three units in 1884 and restored by Joe Miller in the 1980s and '90s.[3]

The house is notable for its use of quirked, neoclassical moldings in a pre-1800 context. The treatment of the chimneypiece flanked by decorative, arched niches is also remarkable.[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1] It is located in the Folly Castle Historic District.
