Classic Richmond Neighborhoods – RVA (D/40
Ted McGarry (218-1238 or tedmcgarry@juno.com). Virginia Historic Garden Week is a unique opportunity to see unforgettable gardens and beautiful houses at the peak of springtime color. As a Northside Richmond native and retired City Planner, join me in the area of my childhood, the Laburnum Park neighborhood, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was one of Richmond's streetcar suburbs which began development in 1919 and completed in the early 1930’s, before my time. The houses are dominated by the Colonial Revival style, Mediterranean style and the influence of Arts and Crafts. Tour includes six houses + gardens and two additional gardens. Cost is $40/person for all properties and benefits a fine Virginia non-profit organization. Join me for up to four hours of tours split by lunch at a local neighborhood eatery. Or you can tour fewer homes for less cost and fewer hours. Meet at 9:50 AM.
