Richmond: Richmond Road - Altamount Street

1924

Richmond Road, north side, west of Altamount Street. Shown is the Boy Scout Cabin and ruins, situated, according to P. L. Sperr, southwest of the Moravian Cemetery. The Richmond Road designation is an approximate location, the writer of these lines being unable to determine, with unquestionable accuracy, the exact site of the cabin.
