Gold Coast Historic District
Gold Coast Historic District, Historic district in Richland, United States.
The Gold Coast Historic District contains residential buildings constructed in 1948-1949 along tree-lined streets near the Columbia River in Richland, Washington.
The district emerged during World War II to accommodate workers of the Manhattan Project at the Hanford atomic plant, with housing assigned based on family requirements.
The neighborhood earned its name from the higher-income residents who settled there, reflecting the social stratification of government-planned communities in the 1940s.
The district spans from Willis Street to Davison Avenue, including 118 contributing properties that maintain their original architectural characteristics from the post-war period.
Housing units followed specific floor plans known as alphabet houses, with residents paying nominal rent for government-owned properties during the Cold War expansion.
