Southern Stove Works Lofts

The historic Southern Stove Works community is located northeast of Hermitage and Leigh Street in Richmond, Virginia. The Stove Works complex consists of three long, red brick buildings that run roughly parallel. Building No. 1 was built in 1895 and was originally a foundry with forty-seven mostly loft units. Building No. 2 was constructed in 1902 and has 111 apartments. Building No. 3, slightly curved to follow what had been a rail spur, contains 26 units.

Building one is made of steel trusses with a light monitor running the length of the building. Building two is a brick building with large wood beams and columns. Each unit has new bamboo flooring and exposed brick walls. The upper floors have exposed ceilings. Building three is a brick building with wood roof decking and steel columns. A portion of this building has direct access to the pool area.
