Weisiger–Carroll House is a historic home located in Richmond, Virginia. It was built about 1765, and is a two-story, vernacular, frame dwelling. It sits on a high brick basement, has a gable roof, and exterior end chimneys. The interior features original woodwork and a Federal style mantel. The house served as a hospital during the American Civil War and more than 100 Confederate soldiers who died there lie buried in a cemetery behind the house. The house was restored in the 1980s.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
