The photo above is from 1921 by Dementi Studios.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch photo archives with the following text: “In July 1961, a local corporation purchased buildings at the northeast corner of Seventh and East Broad streets in downtown Richmond. The purchase included the National Theater and other properties; tenants continuing to occupy their quarters included Stein’t men’s clothier, Pat’s Record Shop and Stonestreet Brothers Jewelers. An idea of putting a hotel on the site never materialized.

Date and source unknown but Lon Chaney in “Witchcraft” came out in 1964
