Broad Street (1963)

Cold Harbor Antiques in Mechanicsville has this neat collection of photos from the 2300 blocks of Broad Street and Grace Street from 1963, from the estate of Bruce English (1960s president of the Historic Richmond Foundation). They’ve also got a collection of photos of the dedication of the WRVA building in 1968.

I’ve got to go see this, my gramps worked for WRVA, at that station near the lookout!

@2 Kathy, I agree with you. Unfortunately I don’t have a spare three hundred bucks, which is what it looks like they are asking.

Wow, what a find and yes, too bad someone don’t buy these to donate. I can’t see anyone else wanting such a collection anyway for personal use without sharing?
