A Richmond, Virginia design that pairs a theater with a hotel under one roof sets this drawing apart from the playhouse images on this board. Combined theater and hotel blocks were a familiar pattern in American cities, where the hotel filled the upper floors and the theater drew evening crowds to the street. Drawings like this one, preserved in the Library of Congress architecture and engineering collection, usually show the plan and elevation an architect proposed, so they record intended design rather than the finished building. The record does not name the architect or date the sheet, so those details remain unconfirmed.
