We have so many wonderful old buildings here in Richmond. It’s great when they’re repurposed and continue to be enjoyed. The Nolde’s Bread building has been converted into apartments. The Miller & Rhoads building in downtown Richmond is now a hotel and houses condominiums. The Model Tobacco building is being converted into apartments.
