Looking for Photographic Images of the Ellett House, or the 800 block (south side) of W. Franklin St.

I am trying to find a photographic image of the house below - believed to have been built ca.1887-1888 at 807 W. Franklin St. for Mr. T. H. Ellett. The building was designed by architect Marion J. Dimmock.  A photographic image of the house or of the 800 block of W. Franklin St. (the south side, from the 1880s until 1960) would be greatly appreciated.  I  have checked all the usual suspects. I think the house was torn down in the 1950s to build an extension of VCU's Franklin Street Gym. If you know of any leads, just email Ray at rfbonis@vcu.edu
