It was also the home of John S. Patton, librarian at the University. The reviewer's comments describe it as an excellent example and recommend acceptance under Criterion C.","narrative":"Built in 1907 at 1018 West Main Street in Charlottesville, this two-story, five-bay, double-pile brick house is an example of the Jeffersonian Revival style. A full-height Tuscan portico covers the center three bays of the facade, and an entablature with triglyphs and dentil moulding wraps around the house and portico. The facade is laid in Flemish bond under a slate hip roof, and a small balcony with Chinese Chippendale balustrade sits above the entrance. It was probably built by John E. Patton, a librarian at the University, on land inherited through his family. A neighboring Fitch-Patton House, often confused with it, was demolished in the 1950s. After the Patton estate sold the house in 1948, it served as an antique shop and was then remodeled in 1953-54 for use as a bank, which continued afterward. The interior was largely rebuilt and commercial wings were added in the 1950s, but the exterior form and some Colonial Revival woodwork remain.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Jeffersonian Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition listed as very good; the building has been used as a bank (a branch of The Citizens Bank, later Central Fidelity Bank) since 1954, with the interior completely remodeled.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:57.340993-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/37/6786/41678637/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/82001809.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001809/1a483310ca-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001809/1a483310ca-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Trace Carter","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patton_Mansion,_1018_W._Main_St.,_Charlottesville,_VA._02.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Trace Carter</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patton_Mansion,_1018_W._Main_St.,_Charlottesville,_VA._02.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41678637","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patton_Mansion","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15265703"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/charlottesville/patton-mansion-82001809/"}
