This beautiful piece of terra firma is my brand new lot in Church Hill! For those of you unfamiliar, Church Hill is Richmond's first historic district. Among its many attractions are St. John's Episcopal Church, where Patrick Henry delivered his famous "give me liberty or give me death" speech, and Chimborazo Park, site of the Civil War's largest military hospital.The area features restored antebellum homes ranging from modest cottages to the magnificent mansions of some of the neighborhood's original residents, the managers of the Shockoe Valley factories. These handsome homes reflect influences of Federal, Greek Revival and Victorian architectural styles in their construction.
My lot is situated 2 blocks from E. Broad street (a short walk away from the famous Hill Cafe). It measures 33' wide by 125' deep (this is really large by Church Hill standards).
My builder says that it should take about four months to complete the build (ha!). I don't think anybody believes me but that's what he says. We'll see. Stay tuned!
