TO THE READER.
   The object of this publication is to supply a want which has been long 
felt, not only by strangers arriving in the city, but by numbers of our 
own citizens. The immense amount of business arising from the prosecution 
of the war has been distributed among a large number of departments, 
bureaux, etc., which are located in so many different places that persons 
having business at some of them are unable to find them, except by 
persistent inquiry. This little book will tell them where the various 
offices are situated.

   It may be that we have omitted several offices which should be 
inserted, but our design is to publish successive editions, from time to 
time, with corrections and additions, until we have rendered the DIRECTORY 
as complete and valuable as we desire to make it. We ask our friends to 
apprise us of any errors or omissions they may discover.

   We also request heads of departments, bureaux, etc., to furnish us with 
copies of such regulations concerning the modus operandi and routine of 
business, etc., in their respective offices, as may serve, by the 
publicity thereof, to lessen the interruptions and inquiries to which they 
are now subject in consequence of the lack of this information, in a form 
available to the public.

ADVERTISING.
   The attention of Merchants is called to the advantages which "THE 
STRANGER'S GUIDE," as an advertising medium, possesses over any other 
publication now issued. Being printed and bound neatly, and of a 
convenient size for the pocket, and containing important and useful 
information, it will necessarily command the attention of all strangers 
visiting Richmond, either for pleasure or profit.

   "THE STRANGER'S GUIDE " will be issued monthly, with such changes as 
necessity may require, and such improvement from month to month, as the 
time will admit of.


GENERAL REMARKS.
   In the absence of a map it may be proper to remark for the information 
of strangers, that the streets of Richmond are laid off at right angles to 
each other, with one or two exceptions. The principal streets are those 
extending from east to west. The "cross streets" extend from the river to 
the northern boundary line of the city, and are numbered in regular order 
from west to east. North of and parallel with Main street, in the order 
mentioned, are Franklin, Grace, Broad, Marshall, Clay, and Leigh streets; 
South of Main, and also parallel with it, are Cary, Canal and Byrd 
streets. The Capitol Square, which is situated near the centre of the 
city, is bounded on the north by Capitol street, which is parallel with 
and near to Broad street; on the south by Bank street; on the west by 9th 
street, and on the east by Governor street, and a part by 12th. Governor 
street (formerly a county road,) is irregular. It is 13th street south of 
Main, but by its inclination to the west acending the hill, its 
continuation becomes 12th street north of Broad street. A stranger can 
readily find any place, 

Page 3

whose situation is described in the DIRECTORY, by bearing in mind that the 
numbers of the "cross streets " diminish as he goes "up town" or west, and 
increase when he goes in the opposite direction. The names and numbers of 
streets are (or should be) inscribed on boards attached to the corner 
houses. The Capitol Square breaks the continuity of two streets, Franklin 
and Grace.


Situation of the Public Buildings.
   The buildings in which the principal public offices are situated, 
mostly front upon the streets which form the boundaries of the Capitol 
Square.

   The "Treasury Building," a granite structure, formerly known as the 
"Custom House," fronts on Main and Bank streets, midway between 10th and 
11th streets. The principal entrance is on Bank street.

   The General Post Office Building, (formerly "Goddin's Building,") is a 
stuccoed edifice at the corner of Bank and 11th streets. Entrance on 11th 
street.

   The "War Department Building" (formerly "Mechanics' Institute,") fronts 
on 9th street, opposite Bank street. It is surmounted by a large and 
conspicuous observatory.

   The State Court House is situated in the Capitol Square, at the 
intersection of Franklin and 12th streets.

   The City Hall fronts on Broad and Capitol streets, with a side entrance 
on 11th street.

   "The Winder Building" fronts on Broad and extends to Capitol street, 
with side entrances on 10th street.

   The location of other buildings occupied wholly or in part by 
officials, is described elsewhere. The above will serve as guide points.
