Thornton Davis
Thornton Davis began Davis Brothers with a focus on building new homes in the Richmond, VA area. His vision and commitment was to provide extraordinary building construction services. Thornton Davis was successful in maintaining the family business through World War I and the depression of the 1920’s and 30’s. Many examples of this early work are still visible in Richmond’s West End and North Side neighborhoods.
Melvin Davis
Following Thornton Davis, the company was led by his son, Melvin Davis. Melvin Davis continued the commitment to excellence and provided more than sixty years of leadership to the company. His commitment to excellence and growth in business was evident through community service as well as his business leadership.
