According to the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form nominating the North Belmont Neighborhood Historic District:

The oldest church in the neighborhood is the Hinton Avenue United Methodist Church (750 Hinton Avenue, 104-5082-0114), occupying the north half of the original Belmont Mansion block (Block 12). The first church building at this site was constructed in 1909, then was renovated in 1948 and 1958 to its present configuration and appearance executed in the Gothic Revival style. Stylistic elements on the brick church include buttresses, large expanses of tracery windows, pointed arched openings, gable-roofed end parapet walls, and the arched loggia across the front of the church.

Renovation/New Addition

Construction of a new building began in 1947 but work was discontinued during the weather. The church held a fund drive in 1948 to raise $10,000 to finish construction. [2]

Rezoning

Ambox notice.png This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.

In 2019, the church submitted a rezoning application to change the district from the low density R-1S to Neighborhood Commercial Corridor. This would clear the way for the construction of 15 apartments on the property. The item was originally scheduled to go before the Charlottesville Planning Commission in May 2019 but the item was deferred until the June 11, 2019 meeting. The group recommended approval on a 6-0 vote. [3] City Council had its first reading on July 1, 2019. [4] [5]
