United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Expires 5/31/2012) Three Chopt Road Historic District Richmond, VA Name of Property Period of Significance (justification) The Period of Significance (POS) for the Three Chopt Road Historic District spans six decades from 1890 to 1950, encompassing milestone dates related to both transportation and architecture, which contribute to the historic significance of the district. Although the inaugural run of Richmond’s streetcar line was launched in 1888, it was not until 1890 that electric streetcars, although still in concert with horse-drawn cars, began to run regularly and consistently along Main Street in downtown Richmond. By 1890, contracts had been let for over two hundred street railways, as realtors, speculators, and owners of large tracts of land surrounding the city realized that streetcar lines to suburban areas would greatly induce and enhance real estate and development profits. In the same year, Albert Warren began selling parcels of his Cool Springs Farm in Westhampton, a tract of land that would ultimately serve as collateral in the development of the Westhampton Park streetcar line and the Westhampton Amusement Park, which opened in 1901 and 1902. The year 1890 also has significance as the date of the district’s earliest post-Civil War, late nineteenth century resource, a Colonial Revival style house at 6314 Three Chopt Road (127-6064-0021). The end date of the POS, 1950, is the date of completion of St. Bridget’s Catholic Church (127-6064-0010), a Gothic Revival church designed by Thompson, Gleeson & Mulrooney, which stands adjacent to St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church (1911-1928; 127-6064-0009); both church complexes face the right-of-way roadbed on which the streetcar line ran from 1901 to 1947.
