Oliver Hill Building Pressure Washing

The Oliver Hill Building, originally constructed between 1892 and 1894, stands prominently on Capitol Square in Richmond, Virginia. Designed by architect William M. Poindexter in the Beaux-Arts style, it initially served as the Virginia State Library, housing the state’s library collections, the Virginia Supreme Court, and the Office of the Attorney General. In 1908-1910, architect Marion J. Dimmock oversaw an expansion that added a south wing, providing space for the State Museum of Natural History. A significant remodeling in 1929, led by the architectural firm Carneal, Johnston, and Wright, simplified the building’s façade to harmonize with the nearby State Capitol. After the library and Supreme Court functions moved to a new location in 1939, the building was renamed the State Finance Building. Following a period of vacancy and near demolition, it underwent renovation and expansion in 2004. On October 28, 2005, it was officially renamed the Oliver Hill Building in honor of the esteemed civil rights attorney Oliver W. Hill Sr. Today, it houses the offices of the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

For this project Envirowash was tasked with cleaning the Oliver hill building with a particularly difficult surrounding to access. Envirowash crews came up with some innovative solutions to safely move lifts into proper locations around building to access all elevations accordingly.
