 RICHMOND, 
 VIRGINIA 
 
 AFTER two seasons this magnificent structure 
 has become one of the great attractions of the 
 South and a powerful inducement to the great army of 
 tourists to turn their steps in the direction of Rich- 
 mond. The many railroads converging at this point, 
 also the fact that it is a half-way station for tourists 
 on their way North and South, have made it evident 
 that it is not only a hotel in the ordinary sense of the 
 term for the accommodation of travelers and transient 
 visitors to the city, but a resort, offering all the attrac- 
 tions to be found in the Northern hotels during sum- 
 mer and in the Southern hotels during winter, and 
 tourists find it agreeable to stop and enjoy the 
 equable climate of the location for a number of weeks 
 or months when traveling either way, thus avoiding 
 extreme changes of temperature. The hotel is located 
 in the best residential portion of Richmond, between 
 Main and Franklin streets, and occupies half a block 
 between Jefferson and Adams streets, the grade 
 
Office Court. 
 
 between Main and Franklin forming one ol the dis- 
 tinctive features of the interior in separating the busi- 
 ness portion of the hotel from the social end, the two 
 being connected by a grand stairway affording a most 
 pleasing effect. 
 
 The Jefferson is an entirely new building, con- 
 structed in the most substantial manner of brick and 
 terra cotta, is on high ground and has plenty of light 
 and air, and accommodations for 500. It is a model of 
 convenience in all its appointments and is planned to 
 give the greatest amount of home comfort to those 
 seeking it from every direction — its chambers being 
 furnished luxuriously and tastefully with this object 
 in view. 
 
 The space devoted to the use of the public con- 
 sists of two great courts, around the lower one of which

 the Salon 
 
is clustered the Business Office, Western Union Tele- 
 graph, Long Distance Telephone, Railroad Ticket 
 Office, Writing Room, News and Cigar Booths, 
 Smokers' Hall, Billiard Room, Grill, Wine Rooms 
 and Drug Store, and in the upper one, surrounded 
 by a wide arcade supported by great columns is 
 the Ladies' Cafe and three retiring parlors opening 
 into a grass-covered Court, through which run marble 
 walks flanked by palms and hedges, in the centre of 
 which is a more than life-size marble statue of Thomas 
 Jefferson, from which the hotel takes its name. Lead- 
 ing from the Court is the Marble Hall, one of the 
 most brilliant rooms of modern architecture, to the 
 left of which, entering from Franklin street, is the 
 Pink Reception Parlor and the Grand Salon, while to 
 the right is the Blue Reception Parlor and Library.

The grandeur of 
 the Salon, Recep- 
 tion Rooms and Li- 
 brary with their 
 luxurious furniture, 
 carpets, pictures and 
 bric-a-brac is only- 
 exceeded by the 
 rare harmony of 
 colors and tastes in 
 their selection. 
 
 Hotel Loggia. 
 
 At the extreme southern end of the hotel, reached 
 by a beautifully carpeted corridor, is the Dining Hall, 
 one of the stateliest and most dignified rooms ever 
 constructed for this purpose, and directly above on 
 the roof is one of the most complete roof gardens in 
 this country, with ample stage made brilliant by hun- 
 dreds of electric lights. 
 
 Turkish, Russian, Roman and Electric Baths can 
 be had in all their luxury on the office floor. 
 
 Transient rates on the American plan, five dollars 
 and upwards per day, according to location. 
 
 Rooms on the European plan, one dollar and fifty 
 cents and upwards per day. 
 
 The City of Richmond, with its wealth of historic 
 memories of three great wars, is well worth a visit 
 from all who are interested in National greatness and 
 take pride in the achievements of all Americans.
