Reply to comment by VCUBNFO in A rare look inside (the slow) work to rebuild Richmond’s Fox Elementary School by Charlesinrichmond

Obama Elementary is almost just as old of a building as Fox. It celebrated its centennial last year.

Age isn’t the only reason to keep something around. Architecture plays a huge role.

Many buildings that burnt down from confederacy burning RVA were freaky crappy plank built homes that weren’t worth the wood they were built with.

Regardless, we are talking hypotheticals.

Interesting. It doesn’t look like anything significant architecturally.
