Forest Hill Park rollercoaster, Richmond, Virginia. Date: 1917. Photographer: Huestis P. Cook. Citation: Cook Collection, Valentine Richmond History Center.
This August 1933 image shows Semmes Avenue and the streetcar tracks that the Virginia Electric and Power Co. proposed to remove if the Richmond City Council allowed it. The company offered to give Forest Hill Park to the city in exchange and promised to put buses on the South Side thoroughfare in place of the streetcar line. Grass plots were planned to replace the tracks and poles. The proposal was approved early in 1934.
