Development at the T intersection at Grandin and Memorial began with the construction of the original Virginia Heights Elementary School in 1907.[3] By 1911, the Roanoke Street Railway Company completed a streetcar line between Raleigh Court/Virginia Heights and downtown.[6] With this streetcar extension, development of the commercial establishments of the present-day Grandin Village accelerated.[3] In 1919, Virginia Heights was annexed into the city of Roanoke. The majority of the structures in the district were constructed between 1917 and 1945.[3] During this period, the Grandin Village emerged as a major retail and service area serving the residents of southwest Roanoke. On July 31, 1948, streetcar service to the area was abandoned, which also marked the end of streetcar transit altogether in the city of Roanoke.[6] Much of the post-1950s development within the district was designed to accommodate the automobile.[3] After a period of decline in the mid-20th century, the district has since rebounded and has become a local retail and dining destination.[4] Grandin TheatreThe centerpiece of the Grandin Village is the Grandin Theatre, which opened in 1932.[3] Designed by Eubank & Caldwell, its eclectic design features elements of various revival styles, and opened as Roanoke's first suburban movie house.[3] The theatre operated continuously through November 11, 2001, when it closed its doors due to its deteriorating condition.[7] After its closure, the Grandin Theatre Foundation raised enough money to renovate and reopen the theatre on October 20, 2002.[7] The Grandin survives as the lone historic movie theatre in the Roanoke Valley.[3][7] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Virginia Landmarks Register|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources|accessdate=19 March 2013}} 2. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 {{cite web|last=Blanton|first=Allison Stone|title=National Register of Historic Places nomination, Grandin Road Commercial Historic District District|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Cities/Roanoke/128-5785_Grandin_Road_Commercial_HD_2002_Final_Nomination.pdf|date=May 2002|accessdate=2008-02-27}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url = http://grandinvillage.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=6|title = Grandin Village Business Association: About GVBA|accessdate = 2008-02-27|author = Grandin Village Business Association}} 5. ^{{cite news | last =Cramer | first =John D | coauthors = | title =Roanoke wants more urban villages | work =The Roanoke Times | pages =B1 | date =August 8, 2002 | url = | accessdate = }} 6. ^1 {{cite book | last = Dalmas | first = James E. | title = The Street Railways of Roanoke, Virginia 1887-1948 | year = 2006 | publisher = Historical Society of Western Virginia | location = Roanoke, VA | isbn = 0-9710531-6-2 | oclc = | doi = | id = | pages = 20–21 | chapter = Chapter 3: Streetcar Routes and the Development of Roanoke: Raleigh Court Line | chapterurl = | quote = | ref = }} 7. ^1 2 {{cite news | last =Jones | first =Beth | coauthors = | title =Grandin gets rave reviews at its reopening preview | work =The Roanoke Times | pages =C1 | date =October 21, 2002 | url = | accessdate = }} External links
