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. For more information on the Hollin Hills Historic District, check out the Civic Association of Hollin Hills (CAHH). |
