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.

Summary: This was a great place to stay. We were in town for a concert in indy and everything in indy was a fortune. We found this place a little outside of indy but not too far. The place is amazing and beautiful. The decor fits it real.well the exposed rafters i love. Its kind of a vintage feel. I told my daughter when we got there i loved the place so much im not leaving. She told me i have to because she plans on not leaving. Plenty of food and dining just a mile or two away. I dont know if ill ever go back to indy but if i do i will probably stay here again

Summary: My partner and I stayed in the Starr Loft this past Memorial Day weekend and it was an absolute hit! The pictures are accurate but still don't capture how cool the place is - make sure to look for the little bits of history inside the place like the turn-of-the-century decorations and pictures. Plus you have convenient street parking right outside the loft, breakfast for 2 at Roscoe's with your reservation, and it's more affordable than almost any hotel you'd find. We're already planning next year's trip and I'd encourage other folks to give it a try too :)

Summary: What a cute place! I really enjoyed staying in Starr Loft. I was in Richmond for just a couple days to graduate, but really enjoyed everything. The loft is lovely and inviting! And the ice cream place on the corner is yummy. Coffee and breakfast at Roscoe’s was a treat!

Summary: High ceilings, big open living space and great location. Parking is easy, right outside the door, on the street. Coffee and restaurants nearby. This is a great place to host a cocktail party because of the roominess.
