Church Hill Ventures took on the renovation of two abandoned historic single family homes on Decatur Street. Located directly across the street from one another, the two large brick homes were eyesores. Left to deteriorate for decades, the two houses were attracting vagrants, drug use, crime, and blight.
After extensive renovation, the two homes have been converted from a detractor for the neighborhood, to a positive contribution that will help stabilize the area. By bringing new residents to the two old homes, the neighborhood will now have some new neighbors.

1219 Decatur was built ca 1905, prior to the annexation by the City of Richmond in 1910. 1219 Decatur is the longest standing residence on the north side of the block.
