MCCORMICK ROAD
It was called to the attention of the Board that the road leading from Route 29 to the
Leander McCormick Observatory is known as "Observatory Road" and also as "McCormick Road," and that
this double designation had resulted in confusion, inasmuch as there is also in Charlottesville an
Observatory Avenue. Members of the Board felt it proper for the road to be named in honor of the
donor of the Observatory, and its designation as "McCormick Road" was approved.
