Original Title: Main St. Station

Location: 1500 East Main Street, Richmond, VA

What I like about this image is, the building still exists. The entire building with the train shed, minus those large pointy things is still there. And while there was a gap of non service, its in service now. Though the train shed is more of a big room for parties.

If you look carefully, there is a horse cart by the tracks that spelled PHONE with a backwards N.

The building is there, not the out buildings. There is a huge interstate blocking the view. The road is at the level of the first roof line, above awnings. And on google maps there is a cute abandoned building to the right of it, rather charming, makes me wonder what the other buildings were like if there were any.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
