Smith ABSTRACT The Virginia State Constitution of 1869 mandated that public school education be open to both black and white students on a segregated basis. In the city of Richmond, Virginia the public school system indeed offered separate school houses for blacks and whites, but public schools for blacks were conducted in small, overcrowded, poorly equipped and unclean facilities. At the beginning of the twentieth century, public schools for black students in the city of Richmond did not change and would not for many decades.

  • The Brookland Park Historic District
    MENU The Brookland Park Historic District The Brookland Park Historic District is composed of several late-nineteenth and early-twentieth subdivisions anchored by commercial development at North Avenue and Brookland Park Boulevard. The Brookland Park Historic District 1. Introduction 2. Early History 3. Residential Development 4. Commercial and Public Development 5. Architectural Styles 6. Maps 7. Credit and Sources Introduction Brookland Park, the earliest and largest of the subdivisions in the Brookland Park Historic District, was plated in the same year, 1890, as Barton Heights to the south. However, because of its distance from the streetcar terminus this area was slower to develop and the lot sizes were smaller because the developers did not think them to be as desirable as those closest to the trolley. 3007 Barton Avenue Modest frame bungalows and American Foursquare houses, built in the early- twentieth century, surround the heart of this historic district at the crossing of North Avenue and Brookland Park Boulevard. This intersection was the neighborhood’s’ early twentieth-century commercial center, and the point where the streetcar tracks once turned west, linking other neighborhoods in Richmond’s Northside. Monumental heoclassical churches and school buildings enhance the neighborhood, as do two, small, triangular public parks. Most of the streets are lined with sidewalks and mature trees. A secondary grid of alleyways provides access to one-story frame garages and service sheds. The Brookland Park Historic District is composed of several late-19th and early 20th century subdivision on the Northside of Richmond. The largest and earliest of these subdivision is Brookland Park which began in 1890 as a joint venture of James H.

  • The Ginter Park Historic District
    MENU The Ginter Park Historic District The Ginter Park Historic District is a turn-of-the-last-century residential neighborhood located in what is now Richmond’s northside. Introduction History of Ginter Park Architecture of Ginter Park Maps Credit and Sources More Neighborhood Profiles — ∮∮∮ — John Garland Pollard residence (corner of Chamberlayne and Walton)(demolished)(from the Carneal & Johnston Negative Collection at the Library of Virginia) — ∮∮∮ — INTRODUCTION The Ginter Park Historic District, one of Richmond’s first streetcar suburbs, was conceived and planned by Major Lewis Ginter, a prominent Richmond industrialist and philanthropist of the late 19th century. The district encompasses residential neighborhood that was originally laid out as Ginter Park by the Lewis Ginter Land and Improvement Company in the late 1890s. Ginter Park features a wide array of late 19th-and early 20th century architectural styles ranging from modest weather boarded builders’ cottage to large pretentious Colonial Revival mansions. Other distinctive styles found throughout the historic district include Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial, Bungalow, American Foursquare, modified Queen Anne, and Shingle Style. Unique examples of poured-in-place concrete structures with Colonial Revival appearances provide an interesting deviation from typical construction practices of the 1920s seen along one block of Seminary Avenue. The variety and innovativeness of single family housing types within Ginter Park make a tour down any of its wide avenues a textbook study in American architectural forms of its period. The land comprising the present-day Ginter Park Historic District was primarily agricultural farmland throughout the 19th century. Ginter Park was annexed by the City of Richmond in 1914 and today retains those qualities of enlightened turn-of-the-century residential planning that give it its local reputation as “Queen of the Suburbs”.

  • The Impacts of Targeted Public and Nonprofit Investment on Neighborhood Development
    Community Affairs Office of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond The Impacts of Targeted Public and Nonprofit Investment on Neighborhood Development Research based on Richmond, Virginia’s Neighborhoods in Bloom Program Authors John Accordino, Virginia Commonwealth University George Galster, Wayne State University Peter Tatian, The Urban Institute Research project sponsored by Community Affairs Office of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond with assistance from Richmond Local Initiatives Support Corporation Opinions expressed herein are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond or the Federal Reserve System. July 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In recent decades, American cities have expended considerable resources on housing and community development efforts in deteriorated neighborhoods. However, they generally have not targeted the critical mass of such resources at particular neighborhoods necessary to bring them to the point where private housing and commercial markets begin to operate without government funds. Instead, resources are spread somewhat thinly throughout low- to moderate-income neigh- borhoods, helping each one a little, but not curing any. In 1999, the City of Richmond, Virginia, decided to target the bulk of its federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and its Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds, as well as significant amounts of capital improvement funds and other resources (focused code enforcement and accelerated vacant and abandoned property disposition) on just seven, carefully chosen neighborhoods. Through this initiative, called Neighborhoods in Bloom (NiB), the city planned to concentrate significant resources on these neighborhoods until it achieved the critical mass of public investment needed to stimulate self-sustaining, private-market activity there.
