History
“Number Nothing” was built in the 1820s as a mercantile store that never received a proper address. It was originally owned by Sam Leicht Jr. and John R. Jones. There was a stone block outside the building that served as a marker for auctioning off both goods and slaves until 1865.
On February 23, 1995 “Number Nothing” was recognized by the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society as a historic landmark.

The building is unofficially located at “0” Court Sq. Charlottesville, VA 22902 on the southeast corner of Park and East Jefferson Streets.
