About this property

THE STARR LOFT- Earlham, IUEast, Historic District

Second floor of an 1865 Tin shop, now a retail space.

Unique space with high ceilings & exposed brick walls. The bathroom features a soaker claw foot tub plus a lux walk in shower. The kitchen features solid surface counters, a large farmhouse sink, really nice appliances and thoughtful touches everywhere. The wifi is blazing.
Have issues with stairs? This is not a good choice for you. If you're up for stairs and want a unique slice of history in a hip package then you will not be disappointed.

The space
In 1865 this building was the home of Nye and Starr, a manufacturer of tinware and stoves. The Starr in this business was actually Benjamin Starr, later of the famous Starr Piano Company and Starr Gennett Records. This tin shop was his first business after he returned from the civil war and would become the first step into Richmond's jazz and recording history. The loft also became the residence to the fire chiefs of our city. The number one fire house is directly behind us and now serves as a BBQ restaurant.
The neighborhood has become the place to come in Richmond for entertainment, food, and events. THE place in Richmond to connect and gather. It has become the hub of our community and to those visiting or attending a local college. With your stay, two breakfasts meals and two signature drinks at Roscoe's are included each day as our gift to you.

Guest access
The front door is clearly marked as the STARR LOFT. As looking at the building, it is to the left of the retail entrance..

Unfortunate experience
This is a wonderful loft in a neat area of Richmond and I have stayed here 3 times now. Unfortunately the owners had my reservation wrong and weren't expecting me. There was washing in the washer and the dryer, a remote that wouldn't work, and the temperature in the loft would not reach more than 71 degrees. We also had some issues the last time we stayed including having to purchase our own toilet paper. Too bad I won't stay again because it is a cute place.

Wonderful spot!
I had such an amazing experience staying here during my wedding weekend! A beautiful and spacious apartment that hosted myself and my bridesmaids as we got ready. My only negative is how noisy it can be on the street- it is located very close to a fire station, so there are sirens blaring by a few times a day. Thank you to Terri for your hospitality! We hope to be back sometime soon.

Beautiful home
The loft is beautifully decorated and clean. Easy street parking and access to the loft. The coffee shop is no longer located below the loft, but it was only a few blocks away and the hosts provided free specialty drinks, which was nice of them to do. We would stay here again when we come back to visit family.

Starr Loft
This is my second visit and was able to bring my wife along this time. Truly a delightful place. We only had one little glitch with the reservation and Terri was quick to make it right! Highly recommend.
