Robert E. Lee School

-A A +A
1919, Charles M. Robinson. 3101 Kensington Ave.
  • Robert E. Lee School (Virginia Division of Historic Resources)

Richmond's impressive investment in public schools during the 1910s and 1920s is exemplified by this showy brick elementary school with a limestone base and trim. Suitably impressive to children would be the colossal engaged Corinthian colonnade and the wings with copper domes.
