The Crozet Historic District (NRHP 2012)
The Crozet Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 2012.
The district encompasses 167.49 acres with 227 contributing resources (217 buildings) and 73 non-contributing structures. The architectural inventory captures the village's evolution from 1815 to 1955: mid-nineteenth-century Greek Revival homes, Gothic Revival structures (the wood-frame Crozet Methodist Church with lancet-arched windows), late-Victorian Italianate and Queen Anne, and early-twentieth-century Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Bungalow/Craftsman dwellings.
The 1913 Crozet Artisan Depot remains a central preserved fixture. Other anchor structures within the district include the Old Crozet School (1924), Crozet United Methodist Church (1856), and the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department station (1985, remodeled 2009).
