Pass through the iconic Bellevue Arch to experience Pope Avenue, a jewel of a neighborhood tucked into Richmond’s Northside, offering a unique mix of architecture on spacious lots complemented by beautiful gardens. The 27 homes on the tree-lined avenue, many built in the 1920s and 1930s, vary in architectural styles including Craftsman, Tudor, and Colonial and Mediterranean Revival. Visitors will enjoy this walking tour of private homes showcasing the architectural diversity of the area. The avenue reflects the planning and architectural styles promoted by Lewis Ginter and John Pope when they first envisioned the larger Bellevue Park neighborhood in the late 1800s. Modern updates have not diminished the rich, historical charm of this gently winding, one-way street.
