Chestnut Hill-Plateau Historic District
Chestnut Hill-Plateau Historic District, Historic neighborhood in Highland Park, Richmond, Virginia.
The district features two-story residential structures, masonry buildings, concrete sidewalks, and tree-lined streets spanning between First and Fifth Avenues.
Originally named Mount Comfort farm in the 18th century, the area transformed into a streetcar suburb after Richmond established its first revenue-generating streetcar system in 1882.
The architectural collection includes Queen Anne Victorian houses, American Foursquare residences, and Gothic Revival churches built between 1890 and 1930.
While private dwellings within the district remain closed to public access, visitors can observe the historical architecture from designated public right-of-ways.
The southern end of 4th Avenue contains ornate Victorian houses constructed by real estate speculators in the 1890s to attract potential buyers.
