4411 Colonial Avenue was built in 1913, by Elijah Jefferson Robertson, who resided there, with his wife, Ella Mae and their son, Robert.
Mr Robertson was a salesman for a wholesale paper company and was also Mayor of Norfolk in 1932.
His grandson, Robert Robertson, Jr., M.D, was instrumental in the establishment and building of Virginia Beach General Hospital on First Colonial Road.
Mr Robertson was known by the nick name of Jeff and is the namesake of “Jeff Robertson Park” at one end of the Elizabeth River Trail in West Ghent.

CPRV kicks off spooky season with community spirit, September updates, upcoming meetings, special election, Happy Hour, and Art Walk fun this fall!
This month we gather at Maker’s Craft Brewery (5104 Colley Ave, Norfolk) on Wednesday, October 15th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. See you there!
* This is a 21+ Event and each participant is responsible for their own tab.
Our September Community Happy Hour at Elation Brewing was a fantastic success! CPRV neighbors enjoyed lively conversation, delicious pizza, and local brews, making new connections and celebrating a great local business.
On September 6th, the Colonial Place Riverview (CPRV) Civic League held its first-ever community yard sale, with over 27 residents participating. The event not only helped neighbors clear out their attics, but also raised much-needed funds for the civic league and sparked a welcome increase in membership.
Join us for the 24th Annual CPRV Front Porch Art Walk on Sun, Oct 12 from 12–5pm! Stay tuned for artist details & event map. Info: Shirley Cooper (757) 575-4547 • CPRVFPAW@gmail.com.
