Card Text (transcribed from postcard)
This handsome French Gothic building was completed in Jan. 1901, and takes the place of a much more modest house of worship, which the progressive congregation found too small for its purposes. The present building has a seating capacity of about 1000, and contains a number of beautiful memorial windows; those in the chancel, illustrating the Te Deum, being especially worthy of mention.
Note
The building was demolished in 1963 and replaced with the Berkshire Apartment Building; located on the 300 block of West Franklin Street; Beautiful and Historical Richmond, Va. Series No. 3-D;
