Executive Office Building
Executive Office Building
In June, hundreds gathered in what used to
be called the Old Library Building (l) on Broad Street in
Richmond for the dedication of the Patrick Henry Building.
It will permanently house many executive branch offices. During the 2006 legislative session, both houses of the General Assembly will convene there as well.

fficiated,as well asthe great great granddaughter of Patrick
Henry, Margaret P. Nuttell (at podium). From (l) are Senator
George Allen, “Patrick Henry” Governor Gerald
Baliles, and Governor Mark Warner.
Our beloved Chicken’s restaurant has
a new incarnation in the new building. Though it lacks the
atmosphere of the old place in the first floor of the Capitol,
the food is still great.
Present and accounted for, Sen. Walter A.
Stosch (r) tries out his new desk in the new Senate chamber,
the former reading room of the Old Library.
