Miss Ellie Wood Page Keith Baxter, daughter of Eliza Mason Page. Little Ellie Wood thought of the tenants of her mother's rooming house, many UVA students, as big brothers. One afternoon, they stuck a sign onto a telephone pole at the corner of the street that said, “Ellie Wood Avenue.” The sign was eventually taken down, but the name stuck. It became the first street in the city bearing a woman's name.

The story of this building is an honor to be a part of. As a woman, as a UVA alumnus, and as such a big fan of Nashville and Austin, I am so excited this is finally happening. Easily a dream come true, and hopefully a place that people far and wide have been waiting for too.

So welcome to Ellie’s! It’s the perfect spot to kick back and listen to live music, have some outdoor fun, and eat and drink with some southern hospitality. This is UVA Country.
