Cool illustration of ye olde Nonesuch Place. I’m thinking that the buildings in the foreground are located near to downtown – either the Bottom / Slip / T’bacca Row or maybe that area around MCV / John Marshall’s house??? yes? no?
I am looking forward to getting a copy- I understand that much of the focus is on City Parks – truly our City’s greatest treasures.
Let me hazard a guess that the foreground view is of 21st and Broad. The building in the far right foreground still stands, the stately building in the left foreground unfortunately no longer exists.
