This 1895 raised cottage is the long-term project of Mimi Sadler and Camden Whitehead, founders of Sadler & Whitehead Architects. Using Virginia’s historic rehabilitation tax credits, they spent a decade restoring and reimagining a home that seamlessly blends past and present with art and architecture. Intact original spaces retain their 19th-century charm, while salvaged materials, clean lines, and warm wood finishes define the much-altered rear of the house. Filling the house is their impressive collection of local art and furniture. The result is a deeply personal, artful expression of adaptive reuse — where every detail reflects the couple’s belief that contemporary design and historic preservation can go hand-in-hand.

Guests will reserve a tour time below and are invited to stay afterward for drinks, light bites, and conversation in the garden. There’s no better place to spend a fall afternoon than in one of Richmond’s historic neighborhoods!

Registrants will receive the address and additional details in your ticket confirmation email. To ensure the best experience for all our guests, we kindly ask that you attend the tour time selected at the time of booking.
