Artwork and activities from a variety of local artists and businesses will be featured in tents placed spaciously along the alley.

Charlottesville City Planners approve Starr Hill Vision Plan By Max Marcilla | March 9, 2021 at 10:45 PM EST - Updated March 10 at 2:13 AM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Charlottesville is moving toward a new look for an historic community.
Charlottesville City Planners voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the Starr Hill Vision Plan. The vote doesnât give any money, nor does it start construction - those things would come later. But the sign-off is the first step toward getting it into the cityâs Comprehensive Plan.
âWe will create a neighborhood identity rooted in African-American presence and prosperity with real opportunities for the Black community to foster ownership of property, commerce, and culture,â said Yolunda Harrell of the New Hill Development Corporation.
A two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom condo in a Gilded Age building
Designed by Dudley Newton, a prolific architect in Newport, this Dutch Renaissance-style house was constructed with locally quarried granite. It dates from 1884, when it was built for the Weld family, a pedigreed clan of merchants, doctors and lawyers, many named William. (The former Massachusetts governor William F. Weld is a descendant.) From 1925 to 1972, the house was a Catholic boys’ school. Then it was converted into multifamily residences, part of a development called the De La Salle Condominiums, with eight buildings and a total of 38 units, four of which are in this structure.
