Where am I? (Part 12)


Here’s another image of a Richmond landmark. What is it?

If you think you know the building, click on the word comments below to give your answer.

Now, let’s talk about Part 11. Nobody has come up with the correct answer since I posted the image on Friday. You’ve had the whole weekend to think about it, drive around Richmond, and study Google images.

So this marks the first time I’ve stumped you. That’s 1 for Don and 10 for my readers. Great job!

Congratulations go to my nephew Mike who correctly identified the architectural detail in Part 10 as being from Albert H. Hill Middle School at Patterson and Roseneath. It’s a fine building, dating from 1926, a time when city officials built schools in an architectural style that reflected the dignity and importance of what goes on inside.

Albert Hill Middle School was named for the city’s school superintendent from 1919 to 1933. The Spanish-influenced building was designed by Charles M. Robinson. You can learn more about its history by clicking here.

    1. And Jenny gets it right! It's Thomas Jefferson High School. Now, since we've done Albert Hill Middle School (Part 10), and TeeJay High (Part 12), does that give anybody a clue as to what's in Part 11? Nobody has gotten that one yet. Does it help if I say Part 11 also shows a Richmond school?
