From Councilperson Agelasto’s FaceBook page:

Many VCU students live in the immediate neighborhoods surrounding Monroe Park. Last year, VCU composed a Housing Master Plan to address its future need for on-campus options. Take a look at plans that include the possible demolition and replacement of the Gladding Residence Center on W. Main Street. The entire proposal would net an additional 800+ on-campus beds for students.

Some Oregon Hill neighbors have already stressed to VCU officials the importance of preserving the historic Branch Bath House on Main Street, which is part of the Gladding Residence Center.

Architect Robert Winthrop was instrumental in convincing VCU to save the Branch Bath #2 when they built the Gladding residence.
