About this Event
Join us for a presentation on the rehabilitation of the former Slate Hill Baptist Church, originally built in the 1830s as a neighborhood meeting house and later deeded in 1868 for use as both a church and cemetery. Already recognized as part of the Southern Albemarle Rural Historic District listed with the National Park Service, the project is now being coordinated with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) to achieve historic property listing.
Developed and operating as Monticello Inn & Cottage, with Commonwealth Contractors, Inc. serving as the preservation builder, this effort showcases how historic rehabilitation can protect rural heritage while meeting modern needs.
Discover how this unique structure is being stabilized, restored, and returned to use — ensuring that its history will endure for future generations.
Light refreshments will provided after the program!
This program is part of the Historic Preservation Lecture Series, created in partnership with Preservation Piedmont, the Albemarle County Historic Preservation Committee, and the City of Charlottesville Historic Resources Committee. It is generously sponsored by Commonwealth Contractors.
