Virginia The area in Richmond known as Church Hill North is an example of a remarkably intact mostly ninekenth-cenlury middlc-ctass neighborhood. Bounded on the north and northwest by M Street and Je&rscm Avenue, on the east by Twenty-ninth Streef and on the south by the adjacent StJohn's Chwch Historic Wct,this area includes more than twenty-five blocks of residential, commad, and institutiond buildings, of which more than ninety percent existed before the turn of the cmtury. The area boasts twelve houses built in the Federal style and the oldest commercial building in the city of Richmond. The scale and materials used throughout Church Hill North are consistent, while the styles vary enough that no one style of architecture dominates. Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Stick, Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, and Art Deco styles exist side by side in a compatible manner. The similarity of setback and landscaping gives a natural and harmonious rhythm to the neighborhood. The district contains a total of twelve Federal-style structures that were constructed between 1810 and 1839. These houses are concentrated along 27th Street: 316,401,405,407,407 %, 501,509, 512-514, 612, 701 North 27th Street, 510 North 29th Street and 2606 East Marshall Street. Typically, these houses are of brick laid in Flemish bond and two-and-a-half stories tall with steep gable roofs, with side-hall plans and three-bay facades. The oldest stmcture in the district is the Wills House located at 407 North 27th Street. Built prior to 1812, stylistically it is atypical of the Federal Style as practiced in the city of Richmond.
