Construction of Charlottesville's Town Hall building, later known as the Levy Opera House, began on the site of the former town battery (or commons). During the time when the building served as the Town Hall (1852-1858), it was also used to host a wide variety of events, including concerts, lectures, church fairs, and university functions. Designed in 1851, the Greek Revival style building seated approximately 800 people.
