Built in 1910, with classic grand schoolhouse looks and located in the geographic center of the Fan district of Richmond, the building embodies so much of what architects hope for when they design buildings for future communities. The fire started in the attic, but no specific cause was determined. Fortunately fire damage was limited to the roof and upper floor and the majority of the building structure remained sound. But water damage from fire-fighting efforts and subsequent weather created significant damage to building finishes and systems. In August of 2022, Quinn Evans was hired as the design and preservation architect to carry out the design of the reconstruction of Fox Elementary School. This tour will review the reconstruction and changes that have resulted after three years of design and construction.
