I found this spider in August in Virginia Beach in my garage, by a door to the outside. It was near an irregular looking web.
This photo was taking after the spider was dead for quite awhile and I had the idea of getting help to identify it.
Thanks for an input.
It would be very helpful to be able to see its eye pattern...
This is the only other one I got. Does it help at all?

It looks like a theridiid (cobweb/comb-footed spider) to me, but the closest I can come there is Nesticodes rufipes (red house spider - see https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J3D1JbFLBVM/hqdefault.jpg for an image), but you are well north of that species' known range...
If it has a red hourglass underneath, it's a poisonous Black Widow....
Dear Rise22 - Black widows do not have a reddish cephalothorax such as this specimen has; and they are venomous, not poisonous, a rather important distinction...
