Few pictures on this board show a building's side elevations, which is what sets this one apart. It shows the southwest and northeast flanks of a combined theater and hotel in Richmond, Virginia, so the viewer sees how the building met its neighbors and how the two uses were joined in one structure. Mixed blocks like this, with a hotel and a playhouse under one roof, were a common answer to downtown land costs in American cities in the early 1900s, when visitors who came for a show often needed a place to stay nearby. The record gives little detail on the building's exact date or architect, but the drawing's careful attention to massing, windows, and wall surfaces makes it useful for studying how such buildings were designed.
