Chamberlayne Gardens is a historic apartment complex located in Richmond, Virginia. The complex was built in 1945-1946, and consists of 52 Colonial Revival style brick buildings, attached in 16 groups. They have four building plans, are two to three stories in height and contain a total of 216 one- and two-bedroom apartments. The buildings alternate in either red or buff colored brick, and have either a gabled slate roof (most common) or a flat roof with parapet ends capped with the original tile. The complex was designed by Norfolk architect Bernard Betzig Spigel and built under the auspices of the Federal Housing Administration.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
