I believe T.C. Williams operated two facilities in Richmond, both closing sometime between 1895 and 1905. One was on South 7th Street at Arch (later renamed Overton) Street. The other on South 6th Street at East Canal Street. Sanborn maps for 1905 show the 7th Street property as owned and operated under the R.A. Patterson name. The 6th Street structure was being used as a shoe warehouse by the W.H. Miles Shoe Company. As you probably know, R.A. Patterson was owned by the ATC but was operated as a subsidiary and continued to use the R.A. Patterson name.

The ATC had several products carrying the Victory brand name. Below are images from an ATC Jobber's Price List from 1909. I don't believe the "Where Made" column is necessarily definitive. The ATC did have locations that specialized in products made from specific kinds of leaf, but they manufactured so much product that multiple locations may well have been producing the same brands.
