Opened in 1937, the original Glass House Restaurant stood for decades in the center of South Hill, Virginia on Highway #1, the main north/south artery along the East Coast. It served as the town's bus terminal and was the center of activity for the area. The building of the I-85 Interchange in the mid-1960's changed the traffic patterns and the Glass House Restaurant eventually closed.

The building was purchased and renovated in 1974 by long-time South Hill resident, R.T. Arnold, to serve as the town's new library.  The original structure was razed in 1999 to make way for the construction of the current library facilities.

To continue the rich history, we have appropriately named our restaurant, "Glass House". Glass House Grill is located midway between New York and Atlanta. With our new motels, shopping,
and friendly people of southern Virginia,
we welcome all guests near and far.
