Smith, who died when the Richmond Theatre burned in 1811. Several survivors owed their lives to the bravery of Gilbert Hunt, a slave blacksmith. A committee chaired by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall raised funds for the church's construction. Designed by Robert Mills and completed in 1814, (the spire was never completed.) the octagonal building served as an Episcopal church until 1965 and later as a chapel for the adjacent Medical College of Virginia. It is sited in the Court End neighborhood of Richmond. Antique steel plate engraving on fine paper Total size approx 5 x 8.1/2 inches Engraver Luiz del Costa Drawn by Blouet Published by: Jean B.G.
