In 1902 it was disassembled and moved by barge from the intersection of Boush and Tazewell Streets to Powhatan Avenue in the new Edgewater neighborhood. Though Mann was not the original photographer of this image, he might have collected and sold prints of old Norfolk landmarks as companions to his own photographs of new downtown buildings.
