A long time ago, on a server far, far away, BeyondDC had a set of Richmond photos. They were in fact some of the first pictures to be shown on the site, back in its very early period. Then one day that far, far away server stopped offering free access, and the embryonic BeyondDC was forced to relocate. Those original Richmond photos – mostly from downtown – were a casualty of the move. Inexperienced with photography and the net, we didn’t have backups, and so the set was lost forever.

Having finally made it back south last November, we’re happy to provide a new gallery of photos. Unlike the lost set, these new photos are primarily of Richmond’s excellent Fan neighborhood, as well as its two grand old train stations. Broad Street Station shares its architectural heritage with the Jefferson Memorial and has been converted to a museum, while the gorgeous Main Street Station has recently been renovated by Amtrak and, after a 28 year hiatus, is once again serving trains.
