The History of This Richmond Urban Hotel

Linden Row Inn has a rich history! Famous past residents of the property include Edgar Allan Poe, who spent his childhood playing

 in the garden, which is now the hotel's garden courtyard. Historians note that Poe courted his lifelong love, Elmira Royster, in the garden where the Inn now stands.

Just before the Civil War, two of the houses were occupied by D. Lee Powell's school, The Southern Female Institute. It was from that location that a former student of the school, Mrs. Dickinson, remembered seeing President Jeff Davis riding his horse one morning.

A second famous girls' school was operated on the property between 1856-1866, Mrs. Pegram's School. Another highly respected school of Miss Virginia Randolph Ellett, operated on the property from 1895-1906. 

Two of its students later became famous. Irene Gibson, or the "Gibson Girl" and Nancy, who would later be known as Lady Nancy Astor, the first woman member of British Parliament. Learn more about Linden Row Inn's history here.
