Meet the Builder:
Lead Developer
of Richmond's Early 1900s Construction:
The
Davis Brothers
The Davis Brothers—Charles Waddy, Oswald J., and J. Lee Davis—were among Richmond’s most prolific early twentieth-century developers. Operating as builders, material suppliers, and bankers, they oversaw nearly every stage of construction, producing a remarkable body of work that transformed the city’s West End, Fan District, and Boulevard corridors.
Although not trained architects, the brothers employed skilled designers—most notably L. Otis Spiers in the 1920s—who helped define a new architectural identity for middle-class urban living. Their focus shifted away from individual houses toward multi-story apartment buildings that reflected Richmond’s social and economic evolution.
At a time when the city’s middle class was expanding—teachers, clerks, and professionals drawn to modern conveniences—the Davis Brothers supplied housing that balanced dignity with affordability. Their apartments offered an alternative to boarding houses or outdated row homes, providing light-filled units, brick exteriors, and decorative yet restrained façades. These buildings met the demand for comfortable, respectable living in proximity to new streetcar lines and downtown employment.
Their stylistic range was broad but purposeful. Many structures drew on Craftsman principles of simplicity and strength, while others incorporated Spanish or Tudor elements to add character without excess. Examples such as The Wilmarth (1916) and The Dorchester (1918) on Monument Avenue showcased their flair for design variation—grand porches, French doors, and rhythmic façades that gave the West End a distinct architectural rhythm. Later works like Sulgrave Manor (1921) and Abbyview Apartments (1922) demonstrated how the firm scaled its approach to serve an increasingly urbanized clientele.
By the 1920s, the Davis Brothers had become synonymous with well-built apartment construction in Richmond. Records list at least sixty-three apartment houses credited to the firm—a figure that underscores their role in shaping the city’s residential identity. Their combination of solid craftsmanship, financial acumen, and sensitivity to middle-class aspirations helped define how Richmond lived in the modern age.
