Lynchburg native Amaza Lee Meredith was one of the nation's few African American female architects during the mid-20th century. Her self-designed residence, Azurest South (1939), is a rare Virginia example of a mature International Style building. She also designed houses in New York, Texas, and elsewhere in Virginia. Principally employed as a teacher, Meredith founded the fine arts department at present-day Virginia State University and served as chair until her retirement in 1958. She willed her half of Azurest South to the university alumni association after her death. It was listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
