Virginian-Pilot January 8, 1922
A brief illness resulted yesterday morning in the death of Michael McKevitt, 
owner of the McKevitt building on City Hall avenue, and one of the best known 
businessmen of Norfolk for nearly fifty years. Mr. McKevitt was 72 years old. 
The funeral will take place at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning at Sacred Heart 
Catholic Church. Burial will be in St. Mary’s Cemetery.
Michael McKevitt was born in Ireland, but came to Norfolk nearly half a century 
ago. He was in business here for many years, and retired with a comfortable 
fortune from various enterprises in which he was interested.
At the beginning and during the World War, Mr. McKevitt was one of the few 
property owners in the city who did not increase rents. In most cases he did not 
call for an increase, and when he did, it was merely sufficient to meet the 
increased cost of maintenance. He built, and still owned at the time of his 
death, the six-story McKevitt building at the corner of City Hall avenue and 
Martin’s lane.
Mr. McKevitt is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Nellie McKevitt Bass; one son, 
James S. McKevitt; a niece, Miss Mollie Dalton, all of Norfolk; and also by five 
grandchildren. He did not belong to any social, nor beneficial organization.
