In April we were driving through Buena Vista and I noticed this building on the hill so of course I had to get closer! This is Southern Virginia University, a private school which was built in 1890 as the Hotel Buena Vista. I found this really interesting blog post on the history of both the hotel and town of Buena Vista HERE
