The Grande Dame of Richmond. It's hard to get good pictures of it smashed between I-95 and the C&O viaduct. This beauty from 1903 has survived floods, fires, and several changes of ownership, and is now open again as a passenger station, and is central to the city's plan of a revitalized "bottoms" district. |
