Friends of Hollin Hills (FOHH) was formed in 2017 as a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization based in Alexandria, VA. Our mission is to protect the historically significant Hollin Hills Historic District, a prominent mid-century modern (MCM) community listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
We strive to foster dialogue on the Hollin Hills architecture and aesthetic and preserve the health of communal park lands and landscape for future generations through meaningful community development and fundraising, educational programming, and project underwriting. We aim to expand the public's awareness and enjoyment of the Hollin Hills Historic District as a national historic resource. |

HOLLIN HILLS – A GROUNDBREAKING MODERN DEVELOPMENT
The Hollin Hills Historic District was designed by renowned MCM architect Charles Goodman and developed by Robert Davenport between 1949-1971. Hollin Hills intentionally marries irregularly-shaped home lots with existing topography. The MCM architectural style is protected by architectural covenants. The community includes over 480 single-family homes and 30+ acres of dedicated park lands with six unique parks and a wildlife sanctuary.
