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).

As a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit, FOHH relies on donations, sales, and volunteers to support the Hollin Hills Historic District. All funds stay within the community and each dollar plays a critical role. Since the FOHH is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your donations are tax deductible! Thank you.
