Wertland Street Historic District preserves a compact residential area between the University of Virginia and downtown Charlottesville.
Its freestanding houses illustrate the neighborhood’s development around the university during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Explore the streetscape from public sidewalks, comparing building forms and details with the state heritage description. These are occupied properties, so historic designation does not provide interior access or permission to enter yards. The photograph depicts a section of Wertland Street. Keep entrances clear and give residents privacy, and combine the short district walk with other nearby public destinations.
