Cultural and Institutional Buildings

Carr's Hill is a two-story, five-bay brick house at 1910 Carr's Hill Road near Charlottesville, Virginia, built in 1906 by the architectural firm McKim, Mead and White in the Southern Colonial Revival style, with a prominent double-height pedimented portico in the Doric order. It has served as the residence of the President of the University of Virginia, overlooking the university chapel and the Academical Village, and its four-acre grounds include a guest cottage from around 1840, a structure known as Buckingham Palace from 1856, the Leake Cottage from around 1870, a 1908 carriage house, and salvaged iron capitals from the Robert Mills Rotunda Annex ruins after an 1895 fire. It was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register in 2007 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
