Baskervill

Let’s start at the beginning, 120 years ago, in 1897—the year Amelia Earhart was born, the Library of Congress opened, and Frank Lloyd Wright moved his famous firm to the legendary Steinway Hall. Much further south, in the heart of Richmond, Va., architect William Churchill Noland and electrical engineer Henry Baskervill partnered to form a smaller practice. From this humble foundation, the firm worked its way up to prominent residential projects—including homes along historic Monument Avenue—and built quite a reputation in the process. Just six years after the company was founded, Noland and Baskervill received a prestigious commission to design an addition to Thomas Jefferson’s Capitol building.
