White House of the Confederacy Virginia Commonwealth University Libraries The White House of the Confederacy served as the Executive Mansion of the Confederacy from 1861 to 1865, when Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy. The mansion was the official quarters during the Civil War of the only President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis. From this house, Davis fled Richmond on April 3 1865, just before the April 9, 1865 surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Leeâs Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox. The house was the birthplace of his daughter Winnie, âDaughter of the Confederacy,â and where his son Joseph died in a fall from a porch. Originally built in 1818 for Dr. John Brockenbrough, the home is one of the finer examples of Federal style homes in the City of Richmond.
