RICHMOND, Va. At the intersection of 31st and P Streets in Church Hill, the only changes in 70 years you see are the faces and modes of transportation.
But across Richmond, some Kodak moments paint a much different picture. From row houses along East Canal Street to a corner store nestled at the foot of Gambles Hill. All Gone. The only survivor? A set of stairs.
These snapshots from another time, thousands of them, were the work of one person.
Edith Shelton carried her camera everywhere.
