Area of Jackson Ward Block: 00 Block West Clay Street Area of Jackson Ward Full Street: West Clay Street Area of Jackson Ward Main Street: Clay Street GIS Data Latitude: 37.547334 GIS Data Longitude: -77.440422 Map URL: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=37.547334,+-77.440422+(16%20West%20Clay%20Street,%20Richmond,%20VA)&iwloc=A&hl=en Original Description (From Book): c. 1850 altered c. 1890. This was built as the Clay Street AME Church by Albert West, a notable Richmond architect. It was originally Italianate in style. It was later given a fashionable Gothic front. The loss of its steeple and the blue and white window panels have compromised its appearance, but it remains a major local landmark. Original Note (From Book): The 00 Block of West Clay Street contains the finest collection of stepped gabled Greek Revival houses in the City. It was originally owned by Addolph Dill, a prosperous baker. Dill began the development of this street as a high quality residential area, a character which has largely been maintained. Residents/Owners: Albert West; Addolph Dill Section of Jackson Ward TOC: Clay Street |
