Willoughby is a now-demolished mansion that was located on Moores Creek about two miles south of downtown Charlottesville. It was built for Eugene Davis, who served as mayor during the civil war. The house fell into disrepair throughout the 20th century, and there was an attempt to renovate the mansion as part of a 65 acre business park. However, this fell through. The house was lost to a fire on Halloween 1991. [1]
