Dreams of the past...

Oh, yes Mark! Check out Montebello Plantation House on the other thread. I grew up on Fulton Hill (sometimes called Powhatan Hill) and the Mayor of Richmond lived at the end of the street at Montebello. I've been in this fine old mansion, Jeb Stuart's headquarters, many, many times!

A lot of the old buildings are still standing that were not in the fire zone during the war. Those buildings below Main Street were predominately the ones which burned - and some which were gutted but still standing are STILL there today! I have a brick from the basement area of Libby Prison.
