Cavalier Hotel named Va. landmark, aims for U.S. status

Virginia Beach:
“History was made at the Cavalier Hotel. Now, it's officially historic. Once a bustling resort in the Roaring '20s, the regal Oceanfront hotel has captured state landmark status and is on its way to national recognition. The hotel has to meet state approval before it can be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, which lists sites worthy of preservation. Recent additions have included the Astrodome in Houston and the George M. Lightfoot House in Washington.

The state status provides an income tax break for those who renovate historic buildings. The federal government accepts up to 20 percent of eligible costs to rehabilitate a building listed on the national registry. The Cavalier Hotel is already on track to receive a 25 percent tax credit from the state.”
