Description:: Card Text \(transcribed from postcard\): This unique office building was built especially to be the headquarters of the Virginia Railway & Power Co. It is of fire-proof construction and stands highest in this respect in the state of Virginia. Externally it is of buff brick and glazed terra cotta, is crowned with a series of torches and has a row of handsome lamps around the fourth floor, all symbolic of the building's use. Architecturally it is the character of the Virginia Colonial style; internally it is sumptuously decorated with mahogany throughout and forms one of the most ornamental buildings in the city. Note: Beautiful and Historical Richmond, Va. Series No. 26; City/Location: Richmond (Va.)
