(inherited from collection) - Description:
- 16, 18 and 20 N. Boulevard shown Richmond, Virginia 37º33'12" N, 77º28'31" W Thirteen blocks, from 300 S. Boulevard to 800 N. Boulevard, comprise the Boulevard Historic District as listed in 1986 in the National Register of Historic Places. The Boulevard was originally called Clover Street, a country lane laid out in 1817 in the Sydney subdivision. Clover Street remained a quiet road until 1875 when the City of Richmond constructed a reservoir at present day Byrd Park. By 1890 Clover Street, renamed Boulevard, provided access from the Main Street trolley car line to Reservoir Park. A boom in new housing occurred in the period 1910-1935; the three structures shown are representative.
