Windsor Farms is a 20th-century neighborhood in Richmond, Virginia, of primarily Colonial Revival design.
Designed in 1926, Windsor Farms is one of Richmond's earliest planned neighborhoods, modeled after an English village, with winding streets and English-inspired names like Dover, Canterbury, Berkshire, and so on. There are a variety of architectural styles, the most prevalent being Colonial Revival and Cape Cod. Lots range from half an acre to 23 acres (93,000 m2). Windsor Farms has several historical buildings, notably Virginia House and Agecroft Hall. Its Farms borders are described by Cary Street Road to the north, the Downtown Expressway to the east, the James River and several areas to the south, and the neighborhoods of Lockgreen and Westmoreland Place to the west.
Historic houses in the neighborhood include Virginia House and Agecroft Hall, both moved from England in the 20th century. Another is "The Oaks" which was built by Benjamin Harrison IV in 1745 and moved from nearby Amelia County, Virginia, in 1927.
Several high-end, architecturally significant houses were designed by Virginia-born Duncan Lee and William Lawrence Bottomley of New York.[1]
