Virgilina Tobacco 1 This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. A Southern scene (4 photos in the set). An abandoned house in disrepair with two front doors--was this a duplex? Possibly it was a tenant shack for 2 families. One substantial post and what looks like 2 poles are supporting the porch roof. There's a pile of tree parts in front. All is standing in a setting of tobacco. The April 2023 Google street view shows the house still standing. Virgilina is a community in Halifax County, Virginia; its population in 2021 was about 120 people.
