Quoit Club: Church Hill Historic + Modern Residence

This frame double house is a rare surviving example of a 19th-century tenement in Church Hill, just up the street from Richmond’s historically industrial riverfront. The circa-1846 gabled front of the house is comprised of mirror halves around a chimney; one room up and one down, every room with a fireplace and stair. A later shed roof addition housed a kitchen and baths.

The owners restored the original gable tenement, reconstructing the deteriorated older addition and extending the living space with the concept of difference to preserve the character of the historic building and minimize the scale of the new house.  A modern addition sits atop an earlier patio and is a two-story steel-framed glass box. Walls are insulated glass panels set in Sapele wood window frames built on site.

This event is members-only.
