The house built by the family of Blacksburg's founders needs your votes.
The Alexander Black House was built in 1897 by desendents of the Black family.
Plans are in the works to turn the Victorian house into a cultural center and museum. A $2-million fundraising campaign is underway, but more money is needed.
Museum officials entered the house into a contest by Dwell Magazine and Sub-Zero. Top prize for the winning project, is $10,000.
"It's a beautiful building," explained Terry Nicholson, the Blacksburg Museum Administrator. "It will be Victorian colors, a dark green and maroon color. It will have the tower back in place, again a very Victorian style. We really see it as a central hub of culture and history in Blacksburg."
You can vote for the Black House online through February.
