STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval of landmark designation for the Hatcher-Gregory House for the following
reasons:
A. The presence of one (1) distinguished building of high architectural quality and
historic interest; and
Providing a FIRST CHOICE community through excellence in public service
B. This designation will cause no significant adverse effect on future development of
the County.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Hatcher house was built around 1910 and is a two-story frame Georgian Revival house that
features awrap-around veranda and a tall hipped roof with projecting pedimented pavilions at the
far ends of the south and west facades. Exterior detailing includes matchboard siding, a fanlight in
the pediments and polychrome geometric-muntin windows. R. Shield Hatcher built the house and
lived there until his death in 1918. His widow, who served as president of the Virginia Temperance
League, continued to occupy the house until around 1930 when it was sold to the Gregory Family.
The property remained in the hands of the Gregory Family until it was sold in 2001. The current
owner has renovated the home to modern standards while maintaining the integrity of the structure.

Area Development Trends:
The area along West Hundred Road is characterized by a mix of commercial, office,
public/semi-public, and residential uses. Part of a historic village, many of the residential
properties fronting West Hundred Road have over time been converting to commercial and
office uses.
CONCLUSION
The proposed historic landmark designation is representative of, and compatible with, existing and
anticipated area development and would serve to achieve Goal 2 of the Chester Plan, to protect
and preserve historic and cultural resources. This area has a high concentration of historical
buildings and sites that are important reminders of Chesterfield County's past. The proposed
designation, and the companion Case 11 SN0178, will not have an adverse effect on the County's
future development.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
