It was subdivided and platted in 1913 next to the streetcar line and built up mainly in the 1910s to 1930s.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the district as a well-preserved early twentieth-century streetcar suburb of mostly single-family homes. It shows the American Foursquare form combined with Craftsman, Colonial, Dutch Colonial, Mediterranean and Tudor Revival influences. The district also reflects the shift of middle-income families from urban row houses to detached suburban dwellings.","narrative":"Ginter Park Terrace is a streetcar suburb on Richmond's Northside, platted in 1913 beside the streetcar line and named for the adjacent Ginter Park neighborhood. The wedge-shaped tract is bounded by Ladies Mile Road, Edgewood Avenue and Brookland Park Boulevard. It holds about 297 resources: mostly single-family houses, with some duplexes, plus garages and Pollard Park, a small park at the western gateway. Most houses date from the 1910s to the 1930s and are modest, closely spaced dwellings on narrow tree-lined streets. The American Foursquare plan, often blended with Craftsman or Prairie details, is the most common design, with scattered Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial, Tudor Revival and Mediterranean Revival examples. Full-width porches with battered columns on brick, stucco or wood piers are a defining feature. Exteriors include stucco, brick, wood siding and some aluminum siding. The district is listed as an intact example of early twentieth-century suburban housing in Richmond's Northside.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals (Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Dutch Colonial); Bungalow/Craftsman; American Foursquare","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still largely residential, with a few two-family and multi-family dwellings and two noncontributing businesses on the Brookland Park Boulevard edge.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.832161-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/10/6789/41678910/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/04001292.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41678910","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/richmond/ginter-park-terrace-historic-district-04001292/"}
