Ginter House is the historic former residence of Lewis Ginter in Richmond, Virginia.[1] Built in 1892, 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]
