Ethyl Corporation headquarters, atop Gambles Hill, fools many Richmond visitors. It looks like a capitol, or at least a governor’s mansion, and it looks to be about a century older than it actually is. After all, how many office buildings are designed in Colonial Revival style, or have ancient cannon parked on the front lawn? That front lawn is actually a public green space, Gambles Hill Park.
