Historic Richmond announces an open call for submissions! A key element of our mission is to support the rehabilitation and revitalization of Richmond’s distinctive historic neighborhoods. Historic Richmond protects and promotes the historic buildings and places that make Richmond authentic, beautiful and full of life. Scott’s Addition and The Boulevard serve as a model of Richmond’s future through the rehabilitation of old and the addition of new buildings and places. Funds raised by Historic Richmond will be used for mission-based activities, including educational programs and future rehabilitation, revitalization and preservation efforts in historic neighborhoods and districts. Be a part of the action – get involved as Richmond’s historic neighborhoods fill-in and shape-up to build a wholly vibrant city that embraces the authentic character we love!
