Charlottesville
Summary
A 1905 home in the historically Black 10th & Page neighborhood, owned by one family since 1944, is on its way to becoming an Individually Protected Property at the owner's request. The designation adds Board of Architectural Review review for future changes but doesn't change zoning.
