National Register of Historic Places - William H. Grant House (Sheltering Arms Hospital)

Statement of Significant: This imposing mansion was erected by the prominent tobacco manufacturer, William H. Grant, in 1857 on a lot purchased from John Wickham. In 1892, the house was acquired by the famous Sheltering Arms Hospital. Sheltering Arms was a free hospital for all white residents in the state of Virginia. The hospital moved to a new location in 1965, and the property came under the control of the Medical College of Virginia which now uses it as offices. The Grant house is a fine example of the "architectural exuberance, and romanticism of the 1850's." It is also one of the few houses of its period and type to have survived in downtown Richmond. Its location on E. Clay Street, across from the Valentine Museum, greatly enhances this historic street.
