The Devil's Triangle, Richmond, Virginia

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.

Two old postcard views of what is now Kensington Court Apartments (formally the Johnston-Willis Hospital)

Kensington Gardens - circa 1980s.

The front steps were removed at one point for this driveway. In 2000 the original front entrance was restored.

Johnston-Willis Hospital, circa 1930.

The building was never pink - the colorist of this image (originally taken in B&W) got the colors wrong.
