BROOK ROAD
Brook Road - Brook Road is one of the oldest highways in the City, historically the major entrance to Richmond from the north. It became commercial by the middle of the nine¬ teenth century, but has declined in importance due to the construction of Chamberlayne Avenue and Belvldere Street.
405 Brook Road - This is a well-preserved example of small late nineteenth century commer¬ cial building. The storefront is intact and the painting of signs and the crowning are typical of its period.
407 - 409 Brook Road - Similar to its neighbor to the south, this double commercial building is well-preserved.
411 - 413 Brook Road - A part of a unified row, the shop front of 411 has been modernized and no longer retains its period character.
