No one had any answers for this one. I don't know it either.
Maybe if I leave it up for a few years someone will identify it.

This is the Clay Street Reservoir with Holy Cross Church showing on the right and Court Street Methodist on the left. The reservoir is now covered and, I think, empty, but I hear rumors of an adaptive reuse in the works. The pretty little spire near the center background was on the Halsey house on Court Street, now site of a parking lot at 7th and Court. I'd love to know who was canoeing on the reservoir and why.

The little fish camp above was perched on a pier in the James River above Scott's
Mill Dam.
This is a pier of the old Orange and Alexandria Railroad. It is near Red and
Dot's Pier on River Road.

The photo above is taken in the 1920s at the trolley stop across the street
from
Oakwood Country Club (in background). Another identical trolley stop on
the Oakwood side of the street is shown at right. Below is another view of
one of these. Photos by Victor Langley Wood.
Above is the Standard Gas and Oil station on the corner of Church and
12th Streets. Below is the liquor store that replaced it.
The house above is identified as the George M. Jones house,
3128 Rivermont Avenue, according to Al Chambers in Lynchburg, an
Architectural History. Look below to see the house as it stands today.
Above is the C.W. Scott house at 3109 Rivermont Ave. Built in 1902.
Later home of J.W. Bibee of Bibee's Grocery. Demolished in 1954.
First Christian Church, built in 1957, stands on the site now (below).
This house still stands on Harrison Street in Diamond Hill. The porch
and windows were greatly altered long ago. The photo below was taken in 2000.
