History of Scott’s Addition Walking Tour

Kick off the 2025 walking tour season with us! Join us in front of Tazza Kitchen prior to the tour for complimentary coffee and pastries before we head out to explore the history of the neighborhood.

Today Scott’s Addition is a thriving business, residential and entertainment district home to destination eateries and iconic buildings. Originally named for General Winfield Scott, this early-20th century commercial and industrial area contains what is perhaps Richmond’s best selection of Art Deco and Moderne commercial architecture. Join us to discover the history of this popular Richmond district.
