The Pace–King House, a prominent Richmond, Virginia residence built in 1860, exemplifies mid-nineteenth-century Italianate architecture through its two-story brick construction with three bays and shallow hipped roof adorned with a richly detailed bracketed cornice and four exterior end chimneys. The dwelling's most distinctive feature is its one-story cast-iron porch, composed of a wide center arch flanked by narrower arches, all supported on slender foliated columns. The property also includes a contributing two-story brick servants' house with a two-level gallery and a brick structure that combines the original kitchen and stable outbuildings. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and designated a Virginia Historic Landmark, the house preserves an important example of period residential design and domestic arrangement in the antebellum South.
