This unique Downtown building with exposed stone and original wood trusses and rafters was purchased by the owners in 1976 to house their printing business, Papercraft Printing & Design (previously Black Flag Press). They closed in 2000, converting the garage door to the press room into a retail front that currently houses the County of Albemarle Economic Development Office. We have not found much documented history about original construction, but it appears that it was built sometime after 1881 as a horse livery stable. The lot next door was part of the same parcel until sometime between 1938 and 1946, when an A&P Grocery store was built. It is rumored that the first car in Charlottesville was housed in the Old Preston rock building. Prior to Papercraft Printing, it was used by Jarman’s Sportcycles. It did not have stairs between the two floors. Entry to the 2nd floor used to be through an entrance where Lighthouse Theater (previously Vinegar Hill Theater) now sits. In 2019, Alexander Nicholson oversaw renovations that included structural upgrades to roofing trusses, rafters, columns, and stone work, reroofing, increased air sealing and insulation, painting, installing new window treatments and lighting.

Where there isn’t a comprehensive historical record, a title search can show some history. As we learn more about the people who lived and used this property, we will share it.
