Peyton Randolph House, also known as Randolph-Peachy House, is a home in Williamsburg, Virginia. It was the home of Peyton Randolph (1721–1775), first President of the Continental Congress. It is located within what is now known as Colonial Williamsburg. The large reconstructed estate, consisting of three main connected houses and several outbuildings, is one of the oldest and most original colonial buildings in Williamsburg.
During the Civil War, the home was still owned by the Peachy Family and was used as a hospital for Union and Confederate troops wounded during the Battle of Williamsburg on May 5, 1862.[4] The home's east wing also contained at least two Native American Indian burial sites and pottery. These graves were disturbed during the construction of the tunnel for the Colonial National Historic Parkway in 1941. In 1970 the house was declared a National Historic Landmark.[3][5]
