Preservation Overview

Preservation; it's the answer. It’s something that we are passionate about here at Historic Richmond. Preservation means preventing historic structures from falling victim to demolition; raising awareness about local architectural history; supporting the character and continuity of Richmond’s National and Local Old & Historic Districts.

Preservation is what helps Richmond keep its voice. It is a multidisciplinary process that drives tourism, improves quality of life and creates meaning. Through the use of a revolving fund, HRF purchases buildings with architectural or historic significance.

Allen Double House, 4 – 6 E. Main Street
Monumental Church, 1224 E. Broad Street
