History

In 1976, East Main Street was converted into a pedestrian mall designed by landscape architect Lawrence Halprin. In 2007, Charlottesville planned a comprehensive rehabilitation and renovation of the Downtown Mall. Construction on the Mall Renovation began on Sunday, January 7, 2009 and was completed that summer. The 2017 Charlottesville car attack, in which a car was deliberately rammed into a crowd during a peaceful protest, occurred on Market Street, only one block away from the Downtown Mall. Portions of the Mall and adjacent streets were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Charlottesville Downtown Mall Historic District in 2024.
