The Location The Gleason is a new project to be constructed behind the historic Gleason’s building located in the Warehouse District, a mile from the University of Virginia and just two blocks from the center of Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall, a dynamic urban pedestrian mall featuring shopping, dining and entertainment. The heart of Charlottesville’s expanding downtown is alive with galleries, theaters, restaurants and boutique shops. This revitalized area offers the amenities of modern urban living amid the unique character of newly restored historic and landmark buildings such as Gleason’s. The Gleason’s building is currently home to the following retailers: Moxie (www.moxiehairlounge.com) Georgie (www.georgieboutique.com) Home (www.kennyballantiques.com) The Baker’s Palette (www.bakerspalette.com) Freeman’s Auction The History In 1871, H.M. Gleason and his father J.J. Gleason, started Gleason & Company, offering “everything for the farm and home.” The store was originally located at 401 East Main, but expanded in 1919 to the current location to focus primarily on general farm supplies, and then to farm machinery and equipment. In 2005, the downtown store downsized and the original store front was converted to a multi-tenant retail building. The original 2-story building now includes over 12,000 sp. ft. of class A office space and 12,000 sq. ft. of boutique retail. The building retains most of the original features such as exposed beams, hardwood floors and brick walls, and will be incorporated into the site design of “The Gleason.” About CharlottesvilleNestled in the foothills of the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, Charlottesville is a quaint town filled with historic charm and the home of Thomas Jefferson, Monticello and The University of Virginia.
