Geocache container is not at posted coordinates!

 

When you go to the original coordinates, you will find yourself at the Richmond Visitor Center.  

The house was built by Brutus Junius Clay II, son of Cassius M. Clay and Mary Jane Clay, whose family home, White Hall, is an historic site in northern Madison County.  

 Mr. Clay was the owner and operator of lumber mills, stone, kaolin, and potters clay quarries, among many other businesses. His first wife was Pattie Amelia Field. Mrs. Clay died and in 1892 her husband made available a property on Glyndon Avenue as the location of Richmond’s first hospital — to be known as the Pattie A. Clay Infirmary.  The Pattie A. Clay Regional Medical Center is now Baptist Health Richmond. 

In 1905 Brutus Clay was appointed Minister to Switzerland, serving until 1910. In 1926 Brutus purchased the lot on 531 West Main and built this home to resemble his home in Switzerland. Notice the four doors at the front of the house.

You are looking for a container on this property.  To find the coordinates, convert the Roman numerals to numbers. There are no decimals in Roman numerals, so you will need to convert the Roman numerals after the decimal as if they stood alone.
