This was a beautiful building. Richmond is always demolition happy in favor of either nothing or nothing remarkable.

Your 1952 expansion picture is of George Mason. Those houses in the background were at 28th and O.

I was told as a child that they demo the school to build what they called the vidock/viaduct to connect churchill to MCV. We had no floodwall and the James River would rise pass Broad St.
