Peabody Building of the Peabody-Williams School is an American historic school building located in Petersburg, Virginia. The structure opened in 1920 as a public high school for African American students in Petersburg's segregated public school system. The building was designed by noted Virginia architect Charles M. Robinson. It is a two-story, red brick building that was originally part of a campus that included a junior high school and an elementary school. ^[3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, but is now closed. ^[1] A new middle school was built adjacent to it, and remains in use.
