Downtown Chilhowie Historic District is a national historic district located at Chilhowie, Smyth County, Virginia. The district includes 11 contributing buildings in the central business district of Chilhowie. These commercial buildings were largely constructed after a fire in 1909 destroyed the commercial block. Notable buildings include the Chilhowie Hardware Company (1909), the Beaux-Arts style National Bank of Chilhowie (1909), Chilhowie Drug Company (1916), Bonham Motor Company (c. 1920), and Southern Air Restaurant (1947).[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
