Ginter Park Terrace Historic District

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.
