Hotel Danville, also known as the Municipal Building and City Market, is a historic hotel building located at Danville, Virginia.

History

[edit]

The main section was built in 1927–1928, and consists of a ten-story, brick main section with two smaller axes to form a "V"-shape. The building is in the Neo-Adamesque style. The building once included the Capitol Theater, and incorporated a three-story rectangular hipped roof wing, or annex, that was the former Municipal Building and City Market complex.[3] The building provides senior housing, known as Danville House.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1] It is located in the Downtown Danville Historic District.
