Notes
  • Significance: This building derives its significance due to its importance in the political history of Lynchburg and as an example of architecture of James Knox Taylor. To quote from S. Allen Chambers, Jr., the senior architectural historian in the Historic American Buildings Survey and noted Lynchburg expert, "The building is typical of Taylor's work, and of much governmental architecture of its time - a handsome interpretation of the early twentieth century Classical Revival style." (p 361, Lynchburg: An Architectural History, Charlottesville, 1981)
