Demolition of Historic Houses On Cumberland?

Posted on March 2, 2020 by Scott

The entire row of houses on the 900 block of Cumberland has been surrounded by 8 ft fence. The St. Andrew foundation board, which owns the property, has not been forthcoming about their plans (and, close by, neither has the VCU administration), and many neighbors fear imminent demolition.

Its important to note that houses at 912-914 Cumberland Street and 200 and 202 South Linden Street, constitute one of the earliest examples of subsidized housing in Virginia and are part of Grace Arent’s legacy.

For many longtime residents this brings up ill will from a previous Linden Street demolition.

Snake in The Gym

From this photo outside on Linden Street, it looks like a worker in the VCU Cary Street Student Recreational Center has a longstanding joke going on in an office area where a plastic toy snake is perched on a windowsill.
