The Davidson Building

The Davidson building is a great example of old school architecture in downtown Farmville.

The Davidson building is located at 229 North Main Street, Farmville Va 23901. In recent years the storefront has transitioned away from the old architecture that the building used to have. The building is now defined by the Beaux art style that makes up the facade . The Beaux architecture style is influenced by French Neoclassicism, while also incorporating Gothic and Renaissance art styles.

In 1965 the building was taken over by Silco Stores. This was a chain of department stores located across Virginia with over 65 locations. This location of Silco Stores was one of the only department stores in Farmville.
