Richmond Dairy Apartments is the adaptive re-use of a quirky dairy-cum-ice cream factory that closed its doors in 1970. The three giant milk bottles at corners of the eastern wing were conceived as a marketing tool, to promote the use of sterilized glass bottles for milk. Artists and musicians populated the building until 1990, when developers demolished and rebuilt the structure as a U-shaped apartment building. A landscaped parking lot fills the West Marshall Street void.
