Diamond Hill Historic District
Diamond Hill Historic District, Historic district in Lynchburg, United States.
The Diamond Hill Historic District spans 14 blocks near downtown Lynchburg, featuring Georgian Revival and Colonial Revival residential architecture across 45 acres.
The neighborhood development started in the 1820s and reached its height during the late 19th century when prominent businessmen built residences along Washington Street.
The Diamond Hill Baptist Church, constructed in 1886, served as a central meeting location for Civil Rights Movement activities under Reverend Virgil Wood's leadership.
The district connects to Lynchburg Hospital through a triangular section bounded by Grace, Jackson, and 15th streets, added during the 1983 expansion.
The Queen Anne style residence at 1314 Clay Street represents the architectural expertise of J.M.B. Lewis, who designed it as his personal home.
