They match the district in style and materials, and demolition of intervening buildings has restored a visual link to the original district. The area is eligible under Criteria A and C for community development and architecture.","narrative":"This boundary increase adds twelve contributing buildings and five noncontributing outbuildings or later structures to the Manchester district in Richmond, on the north side of McDonough Street and along West 12th, 13th and 14th Streets. All were built between 1900 and 1929. They include three Bungalows at 1211-1217 McDonough Street, three two-and-a-half-story Colonial Revival brick houses with false-mansard slate roofs at 1301-1305 McDonough, and Queen Anne and Italianate frame dwellings on the cross streets. The houses were left out of the original inventory but share its forms and materials. They reflect the growth that followed Manchester's consolidation with Richmond, when residential building and Hull Street commerce flourished before the Great Depression. Demolition of noncontributing buildings on the south side of McDonough Street has since restored a visual connection to the original district. Many of the properties are now being rehabilitated as part of wider revitalization efforts.","period_of_significance":"1797-1950 (entire District)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, Bungalow, & Italianate","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Most buildings are single or multi-family dwellings, and many are being rehabilitated.
