The Old L Richardson Neighborhood is within the boundaries of Gate City Blvd., Bennett Street, Washington Street, Perkins and McConnell Road to North O Henry Blvd. The neighborhood is home to approximately 475 households representing a broad range of socio-economic and age groups. All ages and ethnicities are represented with the majority African American with approximately 15% retired.
The Old L Richardson Neighborhood is special for their pride of history and the exceptional people who strived to improve the community. For example, the neighborhood is home to The Old L Richardson Memorial Hospital, the first hospital for African Americans. Opened in 1927, the building is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The facility is presently used as a Senior Apartment complex.
The neighborhood also benefits from its close proximity to NC A&T State University and Bennett College. These institutions of higher learning allow the neighborhood to benefit from their academics, cultural, social and athletic endeavors. The neighborhood also benefits from the Windsor Community Center that provides youth basketball, cheerleading and afterschool programs.
We are always proud of how our Neighborhood Community Members come together to support National Night Out Activities sponsored by The Greensboro Police Department each year.
