The picture was taken on a south-facing brick courtyard at the rear of the first floor of a house on Franklin Street in Richmond the Lees were renting during the last year of the war and several month thereafter. The house still stands, as do the bricks and that very door. At one time in the 1980s it was operated as a restaurant by a friend of mine. He named it Traveler’s, after Lee’s horse, who also lived there. The house is now offices.
now offices, very sad .
Thank you for that info
