"New View of A Western Section of Richmond Which Has Recently Built Up By Leaps and Bounds" - The Photograph Which Is Produced Here, Was Taken from the Roof of the Chesterfield at Shafer and Franklin Streets.
- From the Richmond Times-Dispatch, March 25, 1906.
Now this is a View! 105 years ago. Not a clear image - but about the only one I have come across showing Richmond College (the big building on the right) and its orientation facing downtown.

I have a hard copy of this image, which was a photograph taken of a photograph. I thought it was at the Valentine, but when I went to retrieve if for my Ragtime book, the V. couldn't locate it, or didn't have the image in question. I cannot now recall where I found the picture.
Hovering over the southern wing of Richmond College is the Shenandoah Apartments.
Well, maybe its in the public domain now - can you scan us a copy?
