Brookland Park Historic District
Brookland Park Historic District, Historic district in Richmond, United States
The district contains 1,157 buildings with Colonial Revival and Craftsman styles, featuring single-story porches and understated architectural elements across 343 acres.
This early streetcar suburb developed in the late 19th century, incorporating frame bungalows and American Foursquare houses north of downtown Richmond and Barton Heights.
The neighborhood transformed from a predominantly white area to an African-American community, preserving its architectural heritage while adapting to demographic changes.
The district extends along Griffin, Fendall, Hanes, Garland, North, Barton, Lamb, and Cliff Avenues, including educational and religious buildings serving the community.
Recent revitalization efforts brought new businesses like Boogaloos Bar & Grill and Michaela's Quality Bake Shop, while maintaining the area's historical structures from the 1910s.
