Viewed by developers as an opportunity for urban residential growth, Richmond’s historic business district is also known for its 19th-century iron fronts and 20th-century high rises. This tour focuses on the history, architectural styles and ornamentation of these buildings and their adaptive reuse for the 21st century.
