Richmond United States |
A charming blend of old and new, Richmond's city center is made up of commercial, residential and government buildings. Capitol Square, the seat of Virginia State government, is a good place to begin a visit to the city. On the grounds are the Virginia State Capitol, the second oldest in the country, the Executive Mansion, home of the governor and the historic Bell Tower which houses the Visitor Center. Nearby are the Museum and White House of the Confederacy and St. Paul's Church, reminders of the period during the Civil War when Richmond was the capital of the Confederate States. The The Valentine Museum depicts the city's history through artifacts, paintings and the Federal-style Wickham House, which dates back to 1812. Richmond recently experienced a downtown renaissance when old tobacco warehouses along the James River were converted into residential and commercial space. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Grand hotel with southern grace and charm |
101 West Franklin St (at Adams) Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 788 8000 / +1 800 424 8014 http://www.jefferson-hotel.com/ |
Carrere & Hastings, architects of the New York Public Library and the Frick Museum, designed this building. A column-encircled rotunda, and a fine-art collection, which includes portraits of the seven U.S. presidents born in Virginia, add to the grandeur of this classic hotel. The marble grand staircase was the model for the one in the film "Gone With the Wind." The guest books have included nine U.S. Presidents and scores of celebrities, including Elvis Presley and Charlie Chaplin. The downtown location is convenient to restaurants, entertainment and attractions. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic rowhouses |
100 East Franklin St Richmond, VA 23219 United States +1 804 783 7000 / +1 800 318 7424 http://www.lindenrowinn.com/ |
This gracious inn is comprised of several Greek Revival row houses dating back to 1847. All of the 70 rooms have been restored and are furnished with antiques as well as modern amenities. The brick-walled courtyard garden is a lovely setting for morning coffee or to relax in the evening. Edgar Allan Poe, who lived across the street, played in these gardens as a child. It is rumored that his poem "To Helen" was written with this garden in mind. The inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the structures themselves have a rich history.

 Stonewall and cobblestones |
1600 Monument Ave Richmond, VA 23220 United States http://www.monumenthouse.com/r... |
Cobblestoned Monument Avenue is the only street in the country declared a national historic site. This is a favorite local spot for talking a walk. After the Civil War, statues were erected on Monument Avenue to honor Confederate heroes. These include Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army, and General "Stonewall" Jackson, so called because he rode upon his horse immovable and expressionless as a stone wall. To better illustrate Richmond's cultural diversity, a statue of tennis great Arthur Ashe, a Richmond native, was added in 1996. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Slip Into the past |
12th and Main St Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 643 7407 http://www.historicrichmond.co... |
Shockoe Slip is the city's oldest mercantile district and was once the site of the State Capitol building. This area has been a bustling hub since the 17th century. Though the earliest buildings here were destroyed during the Civil War, original cobblestones and structures dating from 1868-1888 make this beautiful and historic area a perfect place for sightseeing. Shockoe also offers shopping, dining and entertainment. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Richmond United States |
Originally part of Richmond's commercial district, this newly renovated part of town is the hot spot for trendy restaurants and lively entertainment. Its location along the river, cobblestone streets lit with gaslamps and old warehouses converted into shops make it a great place for an evening stroll. The quaint Berkeley Hotel, Awful Arthur's--a Richmond favorite for steamed oysters and crabs--and the historic Tobacco Company restaurant are highlights of a visit to Shockoe.

Famous phrase was said here |
2401 E Broad St Richmond, VA 23223 United States +1 804 649 7938 http://www.historicstjohnschur... |
It was here that the Virginia Convention of 1775 met to discuss the question of taking arms against the British. Delegates to the Convention included Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Patrick Henry delivered the words "Give me liberty or give me death!" Words so powerful that a man watching through a window declared, upon hearing Henry, that he wished to be buried on that very spot. On the spot he lies, in a sepulcher placed beneath the same window. St. John's is one of the oldest wooden buildings in Virginia. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Richmond United States |
Richmond's first suburb is so named because the streets fan out from Monroe Park creating wide lots and avenues, which are lined with stately homes. Several types of architecture are represented here including Queen Anne, Tudor, Spanish and what is believed to be the largest collection of Victorian buildings in the country. Monument Avenue is a showcase of these gracious homes as well as a tribute to Confederate heroes with statues of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis among others. The Avenue also features a statue of tennis great and Richmond native, Arthur Ashe. Today the neighborhood is more urban than suburban and has a diverse population and quaint restaurants and pubs.
