Shockoe Slip
12th and Main St
Richmond, VA, 23221
Those Richmond apartment dwellers with a love of all things historic find great delight in the Shockoe Slip District. In the city's early years the district was the ideal place for the burgeoning Richmond commerce activity because of its closeness to the canal and river. The whole area was rife with amazing warehouses, mills and shops complete with ornate locally made iron work handiwork. Once it was refurbished in the 1970's it's popularity continues to grow among local Richmond apartment dwellers for its great shopping, dining and retail opportunities. While enjoying the limitless possibilities in which to spend their day Richmond apartment residents can enjoy the detailed fountain in the center of the district. Dedicated to "one who loved animals" it is used as a drinking station for the horses of the mounted police and serves as a constant remembrance of the draught horses that once used it. The Bowers Brothers Warehouse, built in 1882 is nearby as well. This great building served as a warehouse for the incoming tobacco and produce products that flourished in the area. It is now a phenomenal part of the areas charm and certain distinction. Richmond apartment dwellers can easily spend a whole day in this thriving district eating, shopping and even stopping for a drink and a show. There is so much to do here it's the perfect destination for a group of the most fun buddy's from your Richmond apartment community to explore.
