Photograph of a stairway in the lobby of the Virginia Hotel in Long Beach, 1908. The wide marble staircase is at center and has thick marble banisters. A marble statue stands on the end of the banister. A cylindrical marble column is visible at left, and a chandelier hangs from the ceiling over the base of the stairs. Another similar chandelier is near the top of the stairs. An arch-shaped mirror reflects the chandelier and a potted palm tree at the top of the stairs. A decorative rug covers the floor in the foreground.
