Address/Title: 122 West Leigh Street
Photographer: Zehmer, John G. (John Granderson), 1942-
Original Description (from Book): This is the exceptional castellated armory of the First Battalion of the Virginia Volunteers. Built in 1899, this almost "Fairytale" armory was the headquarters for the City's black regiment. The battlement, towers and moulded brickwork are all very fine and unusual. It now serves as a gymnasium. The fire escape mars the architectural effect.
City/Location: Richmond (Va.)
Date of photograph: ca. 1978
