J. E. B. Stuart
At the West end of the 1200 block of Franklin Street stood the Stuart Monument (removed in 2020), depicting Confederate Major General J. E. B. Stuart. The Stuart Monument also marks the start of Monument Avenue, a stretch of road formerly memorializing Confederate participants in the Civil War and Arthur Ashe, an international tennis star and Richmond native. The "Monument Avenue Historic District" is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
