Description of Pictures: The Greek Revival St Paul's Episcopal Church was constructed in 1843-45 right across from the Richmond state capitol building. Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee both worshipped here during the Civil War and it was here that they received news that Petersburg was falling in 1865. The building is beautiful with numerous stained glass windows, several by the Tiffany studio.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Wikipedia Description: St. Paul's Episcopal Church ( Richmond, Virginia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. Paul's Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia. Located directly across the street from the Virginia State Capitol, the church has long been a popular house of worship for political figures, including General Robert E. Lee and Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

Other famous people associated with the church are Rev. Dr. Charles Minnigerode who led the church during the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. The Right. Rev. John Shelby Spong, (now retired as bishop of the Diocese of Newark), began to attract national attention while rector of St. Paul’s (1969-1976).

St. Paul's was built in 1845 by members of the Monumental Church.
