Facing West Marshall Street, this Victorian-folk house is the largest in the Jackson Ward City Old and Historic District. Built ca 1915, this elegant house retains all its historical details such as original sills, one-over-one windows, the porch with ionic columns and the double-leaf, paneled doors with transoms. It is unique to its Italianate neighbors typical of the rest of the district.

Via DHR survey:
… The dwelling stands in contrast to the majority of modest Italianate-style residences found in the 00-block. The dwellings and commercial buildings in the area of expansion are significant … for their association with the residential, social and economic history of Richmond’s African-American population. In the mid-to-late-nineteenth century, the 0-block was a microcosm of diversity, including Jewish merchants, skilled tradesmen of color, and immigrants of the rising middle class of Dutch, German and English origin. By the second decade of the twentieth century, the character of the 0-block was transformed to blend seamlessly into the larger vibrant Jackson Ward neighborhood, home to the largest concentration of blacks in the commonwealth. The 0-block remained essentially residential during most of the twentieth century. The 0-block is significant … because it incorporates into the larger Jackson Ward Historic District a varied collection of mid-to-late-nineteenth century Italianate and Greek Revival-style dwellings and early-twentieth-century commercial buildings. The resources are comparable in scale, materials, style, and period of significance, 1800-1926, to the previously nominated buildings.

This Beautiful Folk Victorian, in Historic Fairmount in Church Hill, is available and waiting for the right person to bring her back to life. It was built in 1900 and boasts typical features of the period, such as its delicate spindlework, brackets under the eaves, and its symmetrical design. The rise of industrialization made it easier and more affordable to add decorative details to otherwise simple homes. Decorative architectural trim could be mass produced, and details could be mixed and matched. This home is indicative of the style. It is listed at $84,950.
