CITYSCAPE-Slices of life and scenes in Richmond- For 86 years, the Carillon has been a towering landmark in Byrd Park, with bronze bells at the top ringing out music at community events. The 25-story, state-owned building that opened in 1932 as a enduring memorial to the 3,000 Virginians who died in World War I, is now closed for repairs. Workers are undertaking the task of repairing the ravages of time and weather, replacing the elevator, upgrading the fire alarm, air conditioning, heating, electrical and plumbing systems and bringing the building into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The state Department of General Services is overseeing the work, which is expected to finish in time for the Nov. 11 ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the conflict known as the “war to end all wars.”
