Historic Architecture Downtown Richmond:
A Walking Tour

The Tin Lizzie Cafe
     Tom's New York Deli
     Circus Shop
820 East Main Street

Italianate (circa 1868)

This building is one of the earliest remaining structures on East Main Street. Here it appears in an early photo from about 1870. It is the first three-story building on the block, looking at the left on the photo. For many years the building had been covered with metal sheeting that was added during a "modernization" of downtown. It was removed in 2008 to reveal the original façade which is being restored with the help of Center City Development's Design Committee.
