The Historic McIntire Public Library building (also referred to as the Historic McIntire Library, The McIntire Building and McIntire Building), is a two-story civic building built in 1921. The building is located at 200 2nd Street NE, on the southeast corner of 2nd Street NE and E Jefferson Street.

History

The McIntire Building was completed in 1921 and donated to the City of Charlottesville as the city's first municipal library by local civic benefactor Paul Goodloe McIntire. [1]

The McIntire Building, built for use as a City library by Paul Goodloe McIntire, is one of the more stately properties in Charlottesville. A deed conveying the lot to the City of Charlottesville, is recorded among the records of the Charlottesville Circuit Court Clerk’s Office in Deed Book 33 at Page 92. [2]

Current tenant

Also referred to by the City as "The McIntire Building", "McIntire Library Building", the structure was first leased to the Albemarle-Charlottesville Historical Society (ACHS) in 1993 after an extensive renovation organized by the Society, using a combination of donated funds and a loan from the City. The Society became a center of culture, drawing professional and amateur historians to the downtown area. [3]

On April 2, 2018, the Council granted ACHS a Lease Agreement, the lease renewal term was set at a one (1) year with a lease payment of no less than $750 per month, with all terms within the lease and in Exhibit A. [4]
