Sonner Hall, also known as "Main Building" and Sonner-Payne Hall, is a historic building located at Randolph-Macon Academy in Front Royal, Warren County, Virginia. It was built in 1927, to replace the original academy building of 1892. It is a 3 1/2-story, 19 bay, Colonial Revival style brick building. The front facade features a tetrastyle pedimented portico with Greek Ionic order columns. It has a slate-covered gambrel roof topped by a ribbed dome with a balustrade and lantern.[2] In 1995, a fire destroyed the third and fourth floors of Sonner-Payne Hall. Sonner-Payne Hall was subsequently gutted and rebuilt with improvements.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
