This small neighborhood, established in the 1920s, has been known as "The Devil's Triangle" since the 1980s. The name came from the rough and rowdy bars located on the 600 and 700 blocks of N. Sheppard Street. Those bars are gone now - replaced by other establishments. The neighborhood is still active. New businesses keep opening up and other long time ones have continued. This site will try to document the history of this small but vibrant Richmond neighborhood.

Image of Johnston-Willis Hospital, 1928 (now Kensington Court Apts)
Who was Johnston-Willis hospital named for? I have always been told that it was named in part for Dr. George Ben Johnston, who was named President of the American Surgical Association. Born 25 Jul 1853 and died in Richmond 20, Dec 1916. Does anyone know if this is true. He is my ancester. Please feel free to email cathylewis52@gmail.com Thank you.

I was born there in 1951. I’m here with my best friend from college, looking at an apartment for her. Clean, not fancy. Kitchen & bathroom cabinets are poor quality.
