It is the corner of Harrison and Park (this image first published in in 1891 in the picture book on Richmond called "Picturesque Richmond" - then published again in 1996 in "Richmond's Fan District" by Drew Carneal.

That nice looking Richardsonian house on the left was later replaced with the Scottish Rite Temple - we'll have an image of it online in the few weeks.
