The Randolph House was the hotel where General U.S. Grant made his headquarters on April 7, 1865, and opened correspondence with General R.E. Lee that ended in the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House two days later. From its porch, Grant reviewed segments of his army in the last wartime review. The hotel was erected in 1859 and incorporated Morton's Tavern, built in 1798. It collapsed during restoration in 1964.
