The Sprague Electric Railway
The Shockoe Examiner has a neat split image of the Sprague Electric Railway in Richmond in the 1890s (including the view of Franklin Street above), and links to further information.

That is a superb image, thanks for posting it. That appears to be the Capitol building on the distance on the right side of the hill. I’m guessing this was taken from around Franklin and 22nd Street? The street grade has probably changed, and of course many buildings have been lost/replaced.
Great pic. Bring back the streetcar!
This is around the time Staples first started working at the Hill Cafe!
