The Higgins Doctors Office Building is a historic commercial building at 1207-1211 E. Main St. in Richmond, Virginia. Built in 1954, it is a distinctive and unusual example of a round commercial building. It is a single story in height, with a flat roof. Its exterior walls are a combination of glass windows and concrete blocks with cross motif, with outside courtyard terraces. The entrances are set in recesses. The property's landscape continues a circular theme, with flower beds, fencing, and parking arranged in concentric patterns around the structure. It was designed by the Washington, DC firm of Deigert & Yerkes.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1]
