Visitors can enjoy the mesmerizing views of the scenic James River by standing atop this historic fort. They can also explore interesting aspects about the history of the Civil War of 1862.
You can almost hear the rustle of papyrus and the rush of the Nile (or is it the nearby James River?) when you look at the Egyptian Building, now part of the campus of the Medical College of Virginia. Considered one of the finest examples of Egyptian Revival architecture in the United States, this landmark is a feast for the eyes. The Egyptian Building was completed in 1845 and is one of the most unusual looking sites in the city.
Richmond City Hall now called the Old City Hall is a magnificent example of Victorian Gothic architecture. Designed by Detroit architect Elijah Myers, the building was completed in 1894. It was utilized as the city hall until a new city hall was built in the 1970s.
