S. Young and Company as an office.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is the only example of Jacobean Revival (Flemish-influenced) architecture in Charlottesville, shown in its great curving gables. Its other features are typical of commercial buildings from the early twentieth century. The reviewer accepted it as an example of a locally rare style.","narrative":"Built in 1916 at 1102 Carlton Avenue in Charlottesville, the Young Building was constructed as an office for J. S. Young and Company, which bought the lot that year from Alvin J. Street. The two-story brick building is notable for its great curving Jacobean gables, a Flemish-inspired feature found nowhere else in the city. Other exterior details are typical of commercial buildings from the first quarter of the twentieth century, including segmental and jack arches, small decorative brick quoins, and a center pavilion with the company's monogram above the entrance. The Young Company held the land until 1938, when it was sold to Howard Y. Haffner, and the current owner's family acquired it in 1939. The building now serves as a residence. It was recognized as the only example of the Jacobean Revival style in Charlottesville, and reviewers valued it as a locally rare style supported by a good description.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Jacobean Revival, with Flemish-style curving gables","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed as a residence in present use; condition recorded as average.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:57.004123-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/77/6786/41678677/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/82001817.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001817/fddf89dab2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001817/fddf89dab2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Nickmorgan2","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Young_Building_Charlottesville.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Nickmorgan2</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:Young_Building_Charlottesville.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41678677","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16904152"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/charlottesville/young-building-82001817/"}
