Monticello Arcade is a historic shopping arcade located in Norfolk, Virginia. It was built in 1907, and is a three-story, Beaux Arts style steel frame building faced in molded and polychromed terra cotta. Both the facades are seven bays in length and are composed of a two-story Ionic order surmounted by an elaborate cornice, with an attic story above. The interior plan consists of a longitudinal mall open to the roof, lit by skylights, and entered through the central bay of each facade.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
