Welcome to RWENA online!

The Richland-West End neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee was created in 1905, when a group of investors led by Guilford Dudley Sr. bought a large parcel of property on West End Avenue (formerly Richland Pike), laid out the streets and sidewalks and subdivided the property into small lots, constructed medians and lined the streets with trees. Richland-West End became one of Nashville's earliest planned subdivisions.

One thing that draws neighborhood residents together is the love of our historic houses, 90% of which were built between 1905 and 1935. Approved as a conservation zoning district by the Metropolitan Historic Zoning commission, our neighborhood has also been recognized as an Arboretum, after knowledgeable neighbors documented the native species represented here.
