Dennis drove me around an area of Richmond, VA trying to find the Allman family house which we thought was at 810 Stuart Street. There was no such address but following are some photos of buildings in the area where we feel the house must have stood. It was a fun adventure but not as successful as we had hoped. Below is a hotel on one corner of Stuart Circle.
This is near where we think my mother used to live as a child. This is a church on Stuart Circle and Robert E. Lee in the center of Stuart Circle.

We went exploring trying to find the home above that was my mother's childhood home in Richmond, VA. We couldn't find any house exactly like it but we think we found the adjacent neighborhood or a representative neighborhood with homes of similar styles like the one below. Below is as close as we came to finding the old house. This address was 1810 Park Avenue:
Stuart Street and Park Avenue met at a Y here.
Our guess is that the Virginia Commonwealth University appropriated the house and land that used to be my mother's house and coverted it to University buildings. The University enveloped much of the area nearby. Stuart Street turned into Park Avenue and then the street was closed at the University in Richmond, VA.

Jamestown, VA
On the James River we inspected replicas of the three ships that brought the first English settlers to America.
