Street Paving Update

From Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association:

KEEP AN EYE ON THE SIGNS: WARN YOUR NEIGHBORS: OREGON HILL SCHEDULED STREET CLOSURES

OHNA has not been provided with specific days when the individual streets will be closed so KEEP YOUR EYES OUT FOR SIGNS!

During this period these streets will be closed at various times for milling and paving. PAY ATTENTION to signs indicating particular blocks and streets. If you will be away during this time, find a safe place to park your car, or empower a neighbor to move it for you.

Demolition of Historic Houses On Cumberland?

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.
