  • This 7 story structure is known by most local Fredericksburg residents as "The Big Ugly" since it is out of place for the mostly period and historic homes that surround it. It is the tallest structure in downtown Fredericksburg: Fredericksburg's own "skyscraper". The city recently sought a firm to renovate the Executive Plaza, and found itself with two proposals that included the option of demolishing the Caroline Street structure and replacing it with something about half as tall. The city got three answers to a request for proposals it put out for a firm to renovate the seven-story office building. The city wants to bring the building's interior up to modern office standards, and upgrade its facade to make it fit in better with the Historic District.
