Summary

Significance: The present building, on the site of the well-known Columbian Hotel, served Richmond for some years as a commodity exchange and is a distinctive later-nineteenth century building in downtown Richmond. Its stuccoed facade with the cobblestone piazza to the west forms a picturesque center for the commercial area of lower East Cary Street a focal point which, if renovated, could be the beginning of a new era for this colorful section of downtown Richmond.
