ABOUT THE LOCATION

Built in 1858, the Bolling Haxall House stands as a cultural and architectural giant in the heart of downtown Richmond. Built by leading industrialist, Bolling Walker Haxall, it’s an Italianate Mansion, listed as a Virginia Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Hourly parking is available in a parking garage across the street. If you are staying overnight in Richmond, a group will meet in the lobby of the Hilton “Under the Clock” and walk together to the Bolling Haxall House. It’s about a 5 minute walk.
