RVA Time Machine: Hull Street

By Boomer Staff | July 13th, 2016

BOOMER's weekly series takes you back to how things were on Hull Street.


Old cars filled the bustling Hull Street as people walked down it. Hull Street certainly doesn’t look like it used to.

This photo was taken looking east from 16th Street and in 1955 by Richmond-based the Virginia Chamber of Commerce and was provided by The Library of Virginia.
