Standard Paper Company building extension

from The Library of Virginia

Pixel Wrangler said:
An interesting history of this building, architecture and location can be found on the Inventory-Nomination Form for the National Register of Historic Places. Apparently this building was torn down in 1983 (?)

The president of this factory built the house at 2501 W. Grace Street.
Bill Garnett said:
Thanks for posting this. Both my father and my grandfather worked at Standard Paper Company. And I can remember as a child, my father, then maintenance supervisor, would take me to the plant and I would walk through the machinery, the sheets of paper whizzing over my head. There were three plants, one on the south side and two across on the north side of Hull Street.
Laurie Mulligan said:
I grew up in southside and would pass this factory many times. We moved to FL in 1969, but I returned to Richmond mid-1976 and worked a short time has a security guard. I worked this Standard a few times after the plant had shut down. It was an interesting place to walk around while visiting the guard check in stations.

Note the paint scheme of this ship compared to others. Also note the anti-torpedo rake on the bow.

Deck of Monitor on James River, Virginia. "Onondaga"

from U.S. National Archives

robertgray42 said:
The U.S.S. Onondaga was commissioned on March 24, 1864 and served with the James River flotilla until the war's end. The ship was decommissioned on June 8, 1865. Sold to France in 1867, it continued in service until 1904 when it was sold for scrap. Her armament consisted of two 15-inch Dahlgren smoothbores and two 150-pounder Parrott rifles.
