Eric,

I assume you base your 1938 date on the survey report of the Virginia Historical Inventory. http://image.lva.virginia.gov/VHI/html/14/0515.html

I took a look at the Richmond Esthetic Survey (http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/guides/opac/aboutres.htm)from the mid-1960s and that property doesn't show up. That may mean it was gone already (or they just didn't photograph it).

You might try following the property through the tax records to see when it goes off the rolls. 

If you think it was torn down b/c the pumping station was constructed, the city's public works department reports might include comments on properties to be demolished.

Anyway, just some thoughts. Good luck.

Subject: [VA-HIST] Urban Renewal Project of 1970s and/or House on N 30th history...

I am not sure if you can help but seeking some historical background
concerning a redevelopment project that occurred in the 1970s here in
Richmond, especially the North 30th Street corridor around the Church
Hill Pump Station built in 1954.

There was a house located directly across the street from it at address
707-707-1/2 N 30th (Wills House).  The houses there now were built in
1981.  The old brick house that stood on the lot was built around 1810
and still there in 1938.

I was wondering if there was any survey that states this house or a
group of them being demolished between 1938 and the Redevelopment
Program post 1974?  Possibly it was destroyed when the station was
erected or not long afterwards?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated as I am working on this
family's history and the house is significant.

Thanks!

Eric
