Blandford Church

The Blandford Church is the oldest building in Petersburg, Virginia whose history is well documented.

It is today (2019) part of a memorial to Southern soldiers who died during the Civil War.

While in Petersburg awaiting the arrival of Cornwallis, Phillips fell ill and died on 13 May 1781.

"[3] During the Civil War the church served as a major telegraph station.

In addition to the thirteen state windows, Tiffany donated one, as did the Ladies Memorial Association.

The stained glass half-round window over the church door contains the name Ladies Memorial Association of Petersburgh, VA, the dates 1866–1909, and in the center, the only Confederate flag Tiffany is known to have made, together with the dates 1861—1865.

In addition, there is a window of a Christian cross of jewels donated by Louis Comfort Tiffany.
