Egyptian Building and Dooley site
1301 E Marshall St, Richmond, VA 23219-2047
You can almost hear the rustle of papyrus and the rush of the Nile (or is it the nearby James River?) when you look at the Egyptian Building, now part of the campus of the Medical College of Virginia. Considered one of the finest examples of Egyptian Revival architecture in the United States, this landmark is a feast for the eyes. The Egyptian Building was completed in 1845 and is one of the most unusual looking sites in the city.
City Hall (Old)
Located at 1001 E. Broad Street.
This Victorian Gothic building, completed as Richmond’s city hall in 1894, is as dramatic inside its 3-foot granite walls as it is outside. Now a private office building, the interior ”courtyard” is a three-story painted cast-iron marvel. Troubled from the beginning, with a 400 percent cost overrun during its construction, the building was saved from demolition by the Historic Richmond Foundation. Visitors welcome on the first floor only. The building is open during normal business hours.

Offers impressive views of the James River from 18 stories above Richmond’s downtown district
Watch the city’s hub-bub from its hub. One of the best views of the city and its skyline—including the clock tower of Main Street Station, the spires of Old City Hall and the gentle slope of Church Hill—is from the observation deck at City Hall. Traveling in an elevator—or, for the more ambitious, walking up the stairs—19 floors up to view the lights and sights of Richmond is a thrilling experience. Admission after 5pm is through the guard station. There is no charge.
Main Street Station
is a familiar landmark, especially to drivers of I-95 through downtown Richmond.

Open Hours9am-5pm daily Apr-Nov; 9am-5pm Mon-Sat 1pm-5pm Sun rest of year
Designed by Thomas Jefferson, this Classic Revival building was modeled after a Roman temple. It was completed in 1788 and is the second oldest capitol in continuous use in the country. The focal point of the building is the central rotunda featuring a life-size statue of George Washington, said to be the only one for which he actually posed. A smaller dome displays busts of the eight American presidents from Virginia. The old Hall of the House of Delegates, where the legislature met until 1906, is now a museum. Free tours, lasting about 30 minutes, are offered. Take time to stroll the Capitol grounds and see the nearby Executive Mansion.
