==History==
Much of the neighborhood was developed by [[John West]], an emancipated slave who purchased land and subdivided it for African American families in the late 19th and early 20th century. The neighborhood was kept predominantly Black throughout the 20th century due to the work of people like [[Charles H. Brown]] who sought to ensure ownership stayed within African American families. <ref name="survey" />

==Redevelopment==

The City worked with the [[Piedmont Housing Alliance]] to purchase thirteen single family homes for renovation. Some of these properties have been resold to individual families in the hopes of increasing a family-oriented neighborhood. {{when}}

===June 2020 Historic Survey===
An 89-page architectural history survey was presented to the city in June 2020 by the [[106 Group]], a cultural resources research company. The work looked at 338 (or 344) properties, including 238 that had not been surveyed before. The result is a preliminary information form (PIF) that could be the basis of a nomination for a historic district recognized by the federal government and the Commonwealth of Virginia. This district would cover a period of construction from 1870 to 1970. <ref>{{cite web|title=10th and Page Neighborhood
