Monroe Park

Richmond’s Civic Center (The Mosque)

On the right is one of the many municipal parks, most of which are located outside the heavily built-up part of the city. Looking through the park you can see Richmond’s Civic Center, The Mosque, where conventions, exhibitions, concerts and other events are held. It contains an auditorium seating 5,000 persons. ¶ Proceed eastward on Franklin, halting between Madison and Henry Streets.
