We are ready to begin the research phase of our historic district application. Our initial research topics are:
- Church Histories
- Public Schools
- Good Shepherd School
- Forest Hill Park Land Company
- Forest Hill Development Corporation
- The 1905 Richmond Directory lists “Forest Hill School”–I believe this was the circa 1890 one-story, frame building on 41st Street that was converted into a church (today the Church of Christ).
- Maple Crest Plantation
- Bernard Markam
- Fielding Dunstan
- Richard Archer
If you are willing or interested in helping to discover our neighborhood’s history, please let us know what topic you’re interested in researching and we’ll help you get started!
