Business Progress
Displaces Famous
Colonial Mansion

Until January. 1916. Richmonders
usually referred to the fine old COLO
NAL residence which formerly occu-
pied the corner Of Sixth and Grace
Streets as The Randolph Place" be-
cause Major Randolphs family were
the last owners who used this mansion
as residence. This colonial home
had stood on its high terrace over
looking Grace Street for fifty years,
Now 1t has given way. along with MS
toric facts which live as tradition be-
fore the march of business progress,
to the needs OF the shopping center"
Before The Randolph Place" had
been erected this same corner was
a noted spot. for back in the Revolu-
tionary times of the last century, or
this very corner (Sixth and Grace
Streets) lived Major William Duval,
ington Irving was a frequent gues.
at his home, and one OF Irving's
sketches fRalph Ringwood) takes the
Duval Mansion for its setting.
The next generation found this his
toric corner the residence OF another
man of letters. William Writ, Esq,
author of The British Spy" and a
Life Of Patrick Henry" 1t was Will
liam Writ who, as United States dis
trict attorney. conducted the trial
which could motor at least did not
convict Aaron Burr OF treason.
The interesting old mansions which
formerly graced this historic corner
have been gone these many years, and
the structures that usurped their
places had grown old in their turn
before they too fell before the march
Of time Later days brought to Sixth
and Grace Streets new associations,
new interests that changed with the
years and whose telling would make
q narrative Of pleasing grace and I'M
tagging freshness.

II favor the election OF Mr., Hughes

becnuse OF the apparent indifference
