A 277-space public parking facility in the Beverley Historic District, which occupies most of downtown Staunton, Virginia, the New Street Parking Garage was developed by the city to spur economic development. Providing supportive parking for the renovated and expanded Stonewall Jackson Hotel and Conference Center and the new Blackfriars Playhouse–home of the American Shakespeare Center–the garage’s design is intended to maintain the area’s historic character through the use of streetfront retail space and facades that complement the surrounding architecture.
