About Atrium Lofts at Cold Storage
Atrium Lofts at Cold Storage Located at 17th and Marshall Streets in buildings that once housed the Richmond Cold Storage Company, the Atrium Lofts reflect the charm of years past and boast the beauty and comforts of today. At Atrium Lofts at Cold Storage, living in your very own resort style apartment is not only luxurious, but completely stress-free. Here, we offer a variety of studio, 1 and 2-bedroom apartment homes, with almost 200 different floor plans. Unparalleled Living! The 5 buildings that comprise the Atrium Lofts at Cold Storage community were originally constructed between 1910 and 1925. In 2007, the renovation and conversion to apartments began. The complex was developed along a section of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail line that used to run north of East Broad Street. These rail lines extended through the Church Hill tunnel and provided a critical link to and from the commercial and industrial heart of the city. Perhaps the most intriguing part of Atrium Lofts’ history is the story of this tunnel. The Church Hill Tunnel began operating in the early 1880s. It stretches 4,000 feet between Marshall Street and 18th and 19th Streets near Chimborazo Park, and was built to move cargo from Richmond’s port to a rail yard close to 17th street. The tunnel caved in during while a train was passing through it in 1925. At least two workers were killed, and the train, known as Locomotive 231, still lies entombed within the collapsed tunnel. The tunnel entrance (although closed off) lies within our property lines
