Italianate, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival architectural styles predominate along this 85-block-long Victorian historic district.

This residential area running on the east from VCU main campus to the blvd on the west. Narrower on the east and fans out as you head west. The homes are mainly 1880's to 1920's. We often walk through area after being at VMFA or VHS. It is 90% private homes but there are some eclectic restaurants/bars sprinkled throughout. Residents generally take very nice care of their homes, small front yards show individual taste. You see very little litter an no graffiti. Lovely area to walk through anytime of year but especially in spring and summer.

Good after the Civil War Museum (Tredegar) - right next to it. Also do the bridge walk (same place).
