A website dedicated to Confederate general A.P. Hill has details on the ongoing restoration project of the statue (and the general’s gravesite) located at the intersection of Laburnum Avenue and Hermitage Road:
A.P. Hill was buried for the third and final time underneath a memorial in Richmond, Virginia that features a bronze likeness of the General. The community where the monument is located is known as Bellevue. The monument is located at the intersection of Laburnum Avenue and Hermitage Road.
I am happy to report that Bellevue appreciates their local history and A.P. Hill. They are currently in the process of restoring A.P. Hill’s monument. The Bellevueweb.org site even has posted some photos of the work in progress.
Restoration work will cost $10,000.00. The Bellevue community is seeking donations to help pay for the restoration. If you would like to donate, make a check payable to the Richmond Recreation and Parks Foundation and mail it to: Historic Preservation Guild, P.O. Box 9756, Richmond, Virginia 23228.
The Richmond Recreation and Parks Foundation is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit, organization so your donation is tax deductible.
