Richmond, Virginia
(inherited from collection) - Description:
- built 1840s, 1890s Richmond, Virginia 37º32'40" N, 77º27'7" W (These buildings were demolished May 2018.) Although these buildings are within the Oregon Hill Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, they are currently threatened with demolition. In response, residents of the Oregon Hill community and others have mounted a defense of the buildings, urging that any development on that site incorportate the old buildings rather than raze them. A petition at change.org is titled "No805W—Save Oregon Hill Historic Buildings". Historic Richmond identifies five structures: 801 W. Cary St. 1890s semi-detached brick Victorian Italianate pharmacy 803 W. Cary St. 1840s semi-detached gable-roofed commercial/residential building 805 W. Cary St. 1890s semi-detached brick Colonial Revival dwelling 807 W. Cary St. 1840s semi-detached gable-roofed brick dwelling on raised basement Green Alley: Cobblestone plaza of former stables
