The Fred Heutte Center, which used to be a ticket house for the ferries coming into Norfolk where Waterside currently sits, is surrounded by the Botetourt Gardens. Members of the community are making an effort to restore and preserve the historic building and return the gardens to how Fred Heutte originally envisioned.
