Norfolk Virginia’s Oldest Neighborhood - West Freemason Historic District
Norfolk’s West Freemason neighborhood was almost completely destroyed twice, once by the British during the Revolutionary War and leveling the area during the 1960’s. West Freemason, with its cobblestone street, brick sidewalks and wrought iron details, is located on the Elizabeth River. It encompasses 48 contributing buildings with architectural styles that include: Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Romanesque Revival, Beaux-Arts, Queen Anne and Georgian.
