Notes
  • Significance: In the 1920s, long after the city straightened Monument Avenue and extended it to Roseneath Road, the first houses were built on the 3100 block between Belmont and Cleveland streets. The statue of Matthew Fontaine Maury was unveiled after the blocks were nearly complete, in 1929. The Matthew Fontaine Maury Association, backed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, laid the cornerstone for a memorial to the commodore on June 22, 1922, at the intersection of Belmont and Monument avenues; the monument, sculpted by Richmonder F. William Sievers, was unveiled on Armistice Day, November 11, 1929. The triangular configuration of the south side of the block is a direct result of the extension of Monument at the point where West Franklin veers south. Because the lots on the south side were originally platted to face perpendicular to Franklin, they now front Monument at an angle. However, unlike those lots on the 3000 block, these share a consistent width (just over 26') and developmental history. On the north side are some of the most generous lots on the avenue, and the houses include at least four designed by W. Duncan Lee (Nos. 3100, 3114, 3142, and 3170).
