Hilltop is a historic building on the Mary Baldwin University campus in Staunton, Virginia. The original section was built about 1810, with a large brick wing added in 1904. It is a two-story, five-bay, stuccoed brick building. It features a huge two-story hexastyle portico with massive Tuscan order columns. Originally built as a private dwelling, it was converted to dormitory use.[2] [3] In 1991, it was completely restored thanks to the patronage of heiresses Margaret Hunt Hill and Caroline Rose Hunt.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979.
Other NRHP-listed buildings on campus are the Mary Baldwin University, Main Building, C. W. Miller House, and Rose Terrace.
