The Valentine Museum has one of the best collection of photos of Richmond that I know of. I also wonder if Dimenti Studios might have some images. That photographic studio goes back to the 1920s and maintain an archive of their collection.
Good luck.

I have and nothing they can find. Thanks though. This is the norm it seems... no one has materials depicting Church Hill North. Not sure why it was a black hole void in time?

Subject: Church Hill North
I was asked to do a monthly historical article for the local CHA (Church Hill Association) newsletter which is distributed in hard copy at front doors in C.H. and online at their website. My second article is about the movie theatres in Church Hill.
What puzzles me is the lack of historical documentation and photographs for Church Hill North (or anything North of Broad) even if it was part of Henrico County early on. I am seeking photographs of the old Patrick Henry Theatre which stood at 406 N 25th between 1933-1967 and the East End Theatre at 418-422 N 25th which was built in 1938 and is still standing. Wanting to see what they looked like while in operation. The Valentine and Virginia Historical neither have a file or photos of either of these buildings.
Why is there such a lack of history in this area (which also encompassed Shed Town) and does anyone here know of any photos available to include in the article of these Theatres?
Seems about time for a book and some deep research.
Thanks!
