Former owner claims the photographer may be Tomas Roche. Taken from a slightly different angle than Gardner's famous 6 April 1865 panoramic photograph which shows the destruction of Richmond. Visible in the distance are the Spotswood Hotel [as indicated by a large banner on the outside of the building], the capitol building, and five church steeples. The foreground includes a barren hill sloping into well kept buildings, most of which are residential. Much of the old district [including many factories and mills] has since been torn down and rebuilt upon or otherwise renovated. Several dresses hanging on a fence are seen in the middle foreground.
