Peacock Hill

Peacock Hill is a small neighborhood located centrally in Williamsburg, Virginia. It is located immediately adjacent to the restored Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg, consisting of the four blocks bounded by Lafayette, Prince George, Boundary, and Nassau Streets.

History

The name "Peacock Hill" can be traced to the 1800s, when a resident of the small hill near Williamsburg's central Duke of Gloucester Street actually raised peacocks.

Its most famous former resident is Georgia O'Keeffe, who lived briefly in a cinder-block house owned by her father on Scotland Street, near the top of Peacock Hill. Currently, Peacock Hill houses the College of William and Mary's Center for Gifted Education and the historic Matthew Whaley Elementary School.

gollark: This was partly ironic. It is horrible and inconsistent. The rules vary and are not obvious. There is an unofficial standard but not everything supports it, most things add extra stuff on, and you need 3000 lines of parser code to support it.
