The Virginia Center for Architecture Foundation, at 2501 Monument Ave., has a current exhibition that might be of some interest to Fan District aficionados, and anyone else wanting to know more about Richmond history, for that matter. From its web site, here’s this:
Oct. 25 – Nov. 17: Richmond’s Old and Historic Districts 1957-2007: Celebrating 50 Years of Preserving our Historic Properties and Neighborhoods Commemorate the 50th anniversary of the city’s effort to preserve historic buildings and districts. See designated historic properties and big moments in the history of the preservation program.
What is the VCA? Here’s more about the organization itself from the VCA web site:
In 2003, the Virginia Center for Architecture Foundation, facing a golden anniversary and a new century, purchased the landmark Tudor-Revival mansion designed by John Russell Pope, one of America’s major architects. This new museum for the Commonwealth on Monument Avenue expands exponentially the Foundation’s ability to provide exhibitions and programs to educate and entertain Virginians and visitors, and transforms it from its beginnings as a scholarship fund to a public cultural institution.
General admission is free, but the suggested donation is $5. Click here to visit the VCA. Call 644-3041 for information.
