Description:: Card Text \(transcribed from postcard\): This building, erected in 1881, contained the Officers quarters, Company rooms, and drill half of the 1st Reg. Va. Vols., an organization which has rendered splendid services to the State on various occasions. The immense stone cannon balls, resting upon pedestals at three corners of the building, were procured from the shores of the Bosph[?] many years ago, by Com. Elliott, U.S.N. They were carved from solid granite by the Turks in the 14th Century. Note: Beautiful and Historical Richmond, Va. Series No. 83; Postmarked: 1913 City/Location: Richmond (Va.)
