Grace Street Commercial Historic District
Grace Street Commercial Historic District, Historic commercial district in downtown Richmond, United States.
The Grace Street Commercial Historic District encompasses 93 buildings across 48.5 acres, featuring Classical Revival, Mission Revival, and International Style architecture.
The district evolved from a residential neighborhood in the 1800s to become Richmond's premier retail center by the 1920s, comparable to New York's Fifth Avenue.
The district contains notable structures designed by Virginia architects, including the John Marshall Hotel, Thalhimer's Department Store, and the former Loews Theatre.
Many buildings within the district remain private residences, though visitors can observe the architectural features from designated public areas and sidewalks.
The district received a boundary expansion in 2009, adding 19 additional historic buildings and extending its period of significance to 1956.
