The WRVA Building is an 18,000-square-foot building at 200 North 22nd Street in Richmond’s Church Hill district, Virginia. It was completed in 1968 and designed by architect Philip Johnson while he worked at Budina and Freeman. The building was originally built to house WRVA (AM), one of Virginia’s first broadcast radio stations, and is considered a major mid-20th-century architectural landmark in the city. Today, it houses ChildSavers, a nonprofit child-services agency. From 2007 to 2008, the building underwent a $5.4 million renovation to fit its new use, with Baskervill guiding the adaptive reuse and keeping most of the structure intact.
