TOURGUIDE		"This is Anderton House, nicknamed A-House by students. The original house has been remodeled into dormitory rooms. A-House Beach, around back, is a great place to visit the river."
HISTORY		Thought to have been built about the same time as the Brockenborough house, circa 1760, Anderton House takes its name from the family who owned it in 1947, when it was purchased by St. Margaret's for an additional student dormitory. The Virginia Historic Landmark survey states that the Anderton family added the southern wing in the 1890s; St. Margaret's added the balancing wing in 1971. More recently, in 1988, the school added another wing to house two faculty apartments and dorm space for 12 students.

The dormitory, equipped with air conditioning, has individual telephone, internet, and campus network access available from each room.
