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: It's a beautiful loft with restaurants and entertainment close by.
Crystal S. Aug 7, 2025 07:20:19 AM
Summary: We loved this very unique property. It was just as described. Beds were comfortable and parking was convenient. Owner was very responsive when we called because of an AC problem on a 90 degree day, and he had it repaired while we were at dinner. Did not impact our stay at all! I highly recommend for a unique get away. Loved the free breakfast/coffee option at a local coffee shop too - that was not expected.

Summary: Beautiful, private apartment in historic Richmond. A lot of comfy places to read, big couches, large TV, great shower and double sink and a good-sized bath tub. Kitchen is large and well equipped. Located very close to an arcade, multiple restaurants, bars, ice cream shop and a book shop. All-in-all, an excellent stay!

Summary: Beautiful loft, nicely decorated with antique pieces throughout that really give the feeling of the history of the location. Conveniently located to cute shops, restaurants, and everything Richmond has to offer. The hosts, Terri and Michael, were attentive and great with communication. Definitely my new favorite place to stay when I’m in town. Highly recommended the Starr Loft in the Depot District.

Summary: I wasn't expecting that a visit to my small hometown would end up being the nicest vacation stay I've had but it was. Walking distance to some fun restaurants and a great record store. Property itself was beautiful and well maintained in a renovated loft space. Lots of charm and attention to detail. This place makes me want to find reasons to visit Richmond more often!
