The Inn at Court Square

The Inn at Court Square The Inn at Court Square is a 10 room boutique hotel in downtown Charlottesville, VA. Innkeeper Cand

Innkeeper Candace DeLoach has opened her Inn for 25 years with southern hospitiality. She brings Savannah charm to Central Virginia as she has lovingly restored the Inn, the interior of which highlights her many years of experience in the design and antique business. Her Pastry Chef Pat Chiaveta has been bringing a warm interpretation on Southern breakfast to the table at The Inn at Court Square

for over 17 years. Drawing from the broad, immense and flavorful culinary hybridity of the South, she believes that every dish has a meaning and a story to tell. Candace brings it all together in an amazing Inn in Downtown Charlottesville. The Butler-Norris House (circa 1785)

Edward Butler, a signer of the Albemarle Declaration of Independence, built the structure circa 1785. In 1791, Butler conveyed the property to his son, James, who, along with his wife Susannah (later Fowler) sold the property to John Kelly in 1808. Kelly subsequently presented it to his son-in-law, Opie Norris, whose estate held the property until 1880. Over the next 120 years, the Butler-Norris House (as it was then known) has housed a law firm, a slate company, the Church of Christ, and a real estate office, before its latest incarnation as the Inn at Court Square. The only extant building from the 1700s in the Court Square area, the house’s exterior displays Flemish bond brickwork and the only molded brick cornice in the city. Entering the house, you will be struck by the excellent examples of 18th century woodwork, including Georgian mantels with pilasters and dentils. The Molly Johnson House (circa 1920)

In 1918, Molly Johnson purchased a frame residence from W.E. Norris and shortly thereafter tore it down to build this charming Colonial Revival building. An example of middle class vernacular architecture of the early 20th century, perhaps the most notable feature of the exterior is the mansard roof, one of the few remaining examples in the city. The main body of the house is built of seven course common bond brick, three bays wide with segmental arches over each opening. The front verandas face the historic Court Square and the back porch looks down beautiful 4th Street.
