Description
View of the apse and altar; During the first quarter of the 20th century, Charlottesville architect Eugene Bradbury designed notable residential and town structures that remain important to the area's architectural fabric. His work has been characterized by architectural historians as Colonial revival, neo-Jeffersonian or Greek Revival and includes the Kearney House on Lewis Mountain, St. Paul's Memorial Church on University Avenue, and the Entrance Building which is occupied by the U.Va Women's Center. His formal historical architectural expression is most engaging in his residential designs, where he skillfully related the design to the local topology and geology. The cornerstone for the church was set on Thomas Jefferson's birthday, April 13, in 1926, the 150th anniversary year of 1776. 1926 saw a flurry of Colonial Revival works in the United States. [The church is not affiliated with the University]. Source: University of Virginia News; http://www.virginia.edu/topnews/ (accessed 1/3/2008)
