On the southeast corner of Cary stood Libby Prison, where thousands of
Federal prisoners were confined during the War Between the States. The
old warehouse-prison building was torn down and taken to Chicago to be
rebuilt for the World’s Fair of 1893.
You are now in the heart of the tobacco district of Richmond. For blocks
may be seen Richmond’s famous “Tobacco Row.” ¶ _Turn left on Cary to
Twenty-first, left on Twenty-first to Main, left on Main to Eighteenth
Street; right on Eighteenth one block to Franklin._
