The former Seward luggage factory at 422-424 High Street in Petersburg is on the National Register of Historic Places and was under renovation for residences, the first of which opened in 2006. The second phase of the project would have included both residential and commercial space. On January 16th 2018 at 5a.m, the old building suffered a massive fire and burned down. (en)
