Additional Information

• Approved Application for National Register of Historic Places for the Shockoe Hill Burying Ground Historic District

*The amended MOA adds the Shockoe Hill Burying Ground Historic District (which encompasses three major properties previously listed in the National Register of Historic Places: The Almshouse, Shockoe Hill Cemetery, and Hebrew Cemetery and three newly identified sites—the City Hospital and Colored Almshouse Site, the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground, and the City Powder Magazine Site). On June 16, 2022 and the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground (44HE1203) was expanded and determined to be eligible for listing in the NRHP and a contributing element to the Shockoe Hill Burying Ground Historic District after the 2019 MOA was executed, and this new information required additional consultation among the Signatories and the Consulting Parties.
