VA SUMMARY DESCRIPTION The Barton Heights Historic District is among the earliest of several turn-of-the-century streetcar suburbs in north Richmond. Spacious wood frame houses, most built in the first quarter of the twentieth-century, are sited on fw-foot-wide lots plotted on the neighborhood's gentle hills. The primary impetus for the development was the 1890 construction of the First Street Viaduct, a steel frame structure built by the developers at a cost of $35,000'. This essential Viaduct linked Richmond's downtown to the district's "heights," by bridging the industrial area at the foot of the Bacon Quarter Branch ravine.
