Richmond, Virginia: Basic buildings along Bacon's Quarter Branch

Bacon's Quarter Branch by Bell Worsham, 1934, all rights reserved, Gibson Worsham

This half-rural, half-urban landscape, probably located along the northern edge of Richmond’s Jackson’s Ward, depicts the blurring of boundaries that accompanied the visible decay of the city in the mid-twentieth century.  The evocative scene may be along Bacon's Quarter Branch, perhaps on Mitchell, Orange, or Bacon streets, includes some paradigmatic Richmond row houses- "basic buildings."
