Byrd Park Court Historic District

The Byrd Park Court Historic District encompasses a small, well-preserved residential subdivision in western Richmond, Virginia. Located just east of William Byrd Park, nearly opposite the Swan Lake Drive entrance, stands Byrd Park Court, a loop road on which are set six duplexes and six single-family houses. A stone gate flanks the entrance, and the center of the loop has a grassy area with a water fountain. The houses were built in the 1920s, in a variety of period revival styles with Craftsman touches.

The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
