A century-old iconic building at the corner of Ninth and Main Streets, which has stood vacant for years, is slated for redevelopment as retail and event space.
The former Lynchburg National Bank and Trust Company — built of granite and erected in 1915-16 with a soaring stained-glass dome and four columns at the front entrance — is regarded as one of the city’s major examples of early 20thcentury neoclassical style.
The 27,000-square-foot building has been purchased by Mark Little and Todd Leap, owners of Bailey Grey Companies in Lynchburg, from Downtown Properties LLC for $1,075,000, according to a news release from Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer, which handled the sale negotiations on behalf of the seller.
