next up for Rocketts Landing

The RTD has a look at the next phase for Rocketts Landing, “to build five swank riverbank town houses”:

The development’s next phase — the Riverbank Terraces — is designed to reflect the elegant architecture along Monument Avenue, said Marti Cooke, the project’s director of sales and marketing. [...] The town homes, ranging from 3,240 square feet to 4,495 square feet, will be listed for $1 million to $1.6 million. The facade will be limestone with touches of black wrought iron and very high-end finishes, Cooke said. Construction is scheduled to start in early 2009 with completion by midyear.

Shockoe and Turkey Town (1910)

In the November issue of Richmond Magazine, Karry Kollatz excerpts from his own (now available!) Richmond in Ragtime and takes a look at the immigrant enclave of Turkey Town and the red-light district that was Shockoe:

Along East Main Street into Shocke is a warren of wretched slums. Past 17th Street are busy saloons. Neglected, barefooted urchins run the streets, where starvation and nakedness color their formative experiences. Here in the city’s lower depths are clusters of overcrowded, dilapidated hovels.
