NOTE: According to the Rev. Mulcahy, the building was the parish office for St. Thomas Aquinas Church, which serves the UVA student community, for more than 20 years, but it has been empty and in poor condition since 2004. In June 2007, the property was transferred from the Roman Catholic diocese of Richmond (Bishop Walter Sullivan), which bought the property in 1984 for $145,000, to the Dominican Fathers of Charlottesville for $500,000. Mulcahy says there are no immediate plans to build anything on the site.
