Richmond Town

Richmond Town Water Damage Restoration

Richmond Town is one of the most historically distinguished and extraordinarily preserved historic neighborhoods on Staten Island and one of the most significant historic villages in the New York region, with a small residential population living across a compact landscape positioned in central Staten Island. The neighborhood is essentially defined by its extraordinary status as home to Historic Richmond Town (one of the most historically significant preserved historic villages in the New York City area and one of the largest preserved historic villages in New York City), its extraordinary role as home to the Voorlezer’s House (built in 1695 and one of the oldest surviving schoolhouse buildings in the United States and a National Historic Landmark), its extraordinary Historic Richmond Town National Historic District designation, its home to the Staten Island Historical Society Museum, and its substantial preserved 17th, 18th, and 19th century architecture representing centuries of continuous settlement on Staten Island. The community is anchored by the extraordinary Historic Richmond Town preserved historic village complex (a substantial preserved historic village with more than two dozen preserved historic buildings and structures dating from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries), the extraordinary Voorlezer’s House (a 1695 preserved historic schoolhouse that is one of the oldest surviving schoolhouse buildings in the United States and a National Historic Landmark), the historic Third Court House (a distinguished preserved historic government building), the substantial Staten Island Historical Society Museum (a distinguished regional museum housed in preserved historic buildings), the Historic Richmond Town National Historic District, and limited residential property throughout including established single-family homes. The neighborhood is positioned along Richmond Road and Arthur Kill Road providing transportation corridor access. The community has a small residential population plus substantial institutional presence at the Historic Richmond Town preserved village complex. The housing stock combines extraordinary preserved historic 17th, 18th, and 19th century architecture at the Historic Richmond Town complex with limited residential property throughout, plus the substantial Staten Island Historical Society Museum institutional property. Many Historic Richmond Town properties feature exceptional 17th, 18th, and 19th century original architectural elements of extraordinary historic and architectural significance including original hand-hewn timber framing, original 17th and 18th century woodwork, custom period millwork, distinguished original architectural elements, and valuable original architectural elements of substantial national historic significance.
