Guide to streets

The system of numbering the streets is somewhat similar to the Washington plan. Each block represents 100 numbers, whether heading east, west, north or south. The city is divided into four sections.[1]

Fifth – South of 500 W Main Street
First – North of East Main and East of North First, or Northeast
Second – South of East Main and east of South First, or Southeast
Third – North of West Main and west of North First, or Northwest
Fourth – South from 402 West Main
Sixth-and-a-Half – South from 606 Dice
Seventh-and-a-Half – South from 620 Dice
Main – The dividing line between north and south streets, runs east from First to C & O Lower Depot and west from First to University. The main Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Station, being located under the present day Belmont Bridge.
First – The dividing line between east and west streets, runs north and south from Main to city limits.

From the book The Code of the City of Charlottesville, Virginia (1909) "General Ordinances" chapter:Charlottesville (Va.), et al. The Code of the City of Charlottesville, Virginia: Containing the Charter As Amended and Re-enacted As a Whole (approved March 14, 1908), the Constitutional and Legislative Provisions of the State Relating to Cities, and the General Ordinances of the City Enacted As a Whole August 6th, 1909, In Effect September 1st, 1909. Michie Co, 1909.

Sec. 148. Numbering and naming streets.
Main Street shall be the east and west line from which all houses and lot numbers shall be counted, those to the north of Main Street, as north, and those to the south of Main Street, as south.
All streets maintaining comparative parallelism with Main Street shall retain their present names. The meridian street shall be Thirty-Third or Green Street, but shall be known as North First or South First Street, as indicated by its position north or south of Main Street.
What is known as Thirty-Second or Church Street north of Main Street shall be known as North Second Street East, its continuation south of Main Street, as South Second Street East. What is now known as Thirty-Fourth Street, shall be known as North Second Street West or South Second Street West, as the case may be.
Whether one goes east or west, the streets running so as to intersect Main, actually or by supposed extension shall be known by the natural numbers increasing in either direction from the meridian at First Street, save in the matter of Park and Ridge Streets.
