It contains 110 contributing and 46 noncontributing resources.","why_significant":"The district is significant for Community Planning & Development and Architecture. It reflects the growth of Hampton after the C&O Railroad arrived and the electric streetcar line was extended in 1891. It retains a dense grouping of late Victorian and Revival style homes from that era with high integrity.","narrative":"Pasture Point Historic District covers about 28 acres on a peninsula along the Hampton River in Hampton, Virginia. The neighborhood was platted in 1885 by the Old Dominion Land Company after the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad reached the area, and it grew steadily once an electric streetcar line arrived in 1891. Most of its 156 resources are houses, ranging from large homes on East Pembroke Avenue and the waterfront Marshall and Syms Streets to modest dwellings on side streets. The architecture includes Italianate, Queen Anne, Second Empire, Stick, Shingle, Colonial Revival and Craftsman examples, with many two-and-a-half-story frame houses on brick foundations with decorative shingles and sawn porch work. Only fifteen primary resources date after 1919, and the street grid and building fabric have changed little. The district was recognized for its role in community planning and development and for its architecture between 1885 and 1919.","period_of_significance":"1885-1919","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian (Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Stick/Eastlake, Shingle); Colonial Revival and other late 19th and 20th century Revivals; Bungalow/Craftsman; Prairie School; Folk Victorian","criteria":[],"status_note":"Largely residential; current functions are single and multiple dwellings.
