The Oakwood-Chimborazo Historic District is another example of early speculative residential development following the introduction of a trolley line; thus the district’s linear shape, encompassing three neighborhoods—Chimborazo, Oakwood, and Glenwood Park. Although Oakwood and Chimborazo have merged over the years, Glenwood Park still retains a distinctive character due in part to its park-like setting and curvilinear streets. The Oakwood-Chimborazo district contains a significant collection of late-19th- and early-20th-century brick and frame dwellings that display an eclectic architectural mix of Late Victorian, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival styles, alongside Victorian cottages and a few bungalow-style houses. Schools, churches, and corner stores enhance the visual dynamic of the district, which also includes three contributing cemeteries and three parks, the previously listed Nathaniel Bacon School, and 1,606 buildings. The Civil War-related sites of Chimborazo Hospital and Oakwood Cemetery also are part of the district. Many of Richmond’s leading architects designed buildings here. For the most part the district reveals a high level of integrity and preservation. The significant growth of Richmond’s African American middle-class is evidenced in the district’s Evergreen Cemetery, established in 1891, and the transition of the area during the 1950s and 1960s into a largely black community.
