neighborhood

historic shockoe

The Watkins sits on one of the most recognized corners in Richmond. It announces the end of the historic Shockoe Slip district and offers an entrance into Shockoe Bottom. The “slip” in Shockoe Slip refers to the passageway from the James River and Kanawha Canal, just steps away, where goods were unloaded and carted to the many warehouses throughout the neighborhood. Likewise, Shockoe Bottom (originally Shockoe Valley) was a vibrant center of riverfront commerce.

Today, these historic districts are the home of dozens of cafes, breweries, galleries, shops, and more. The 17th Street Market (one of the oldest in America) hosts a regular series of art, music, and educational events. Richmond’s important financial and government districts are just a few blocks to the west, while a short trip to the east will find you in iconic Church Hill and “The View that Named Richmond.” The James River is at your feet to the south, and the Virginia Capital Trail bike path is just across the street.
