Ginter Park is a suburban neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia built on land owned and developed by Lewis Ginter. The neighborhood's first well known resident was newspaperman Joseph Bryan, who lived in Laburnum, first built in 1883 and later rebuilt.{{cite web|url=http://www.friendsofbryanpark.org/joseph_bryan.htm|title=Joseph Bryan|date=11 March 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311044244/http://www.friendsofbryanpark.org/joseph_bryan.htm|access-date=16 October 2018|archive-date=2007-03-11}} In 1895, many acres of land north of Richmond were purchased by Ginter in order to develop into neighborhoods.
