The Jefferson Hotel Mirror: Room 202 and a 1920s Murder. In the summer of 1928, socialite Elizabeth "Beth" Davis arrives at the storied Jefferson Hotel in Richmond for a week of political gatherings and Southern society pageantry. While her husband attends Democratic meetings during a heated presidential election year, Beth begins to experience unsettling dreams tied to Room 202-the suite she and her father once shared years earlier. A mirror in the room seems to reflect more than her own image. It reveals fragments of another summer in the 1920s-whispers of secret meetings, tense political alliances, and the shadow of a young man whose death was quietly buried by the city's elite. As Beth follows a trail through old hotel registers and newspaper archives, she uncovers a story that challenges everything she believed about family, legacy, and the polished world of old Virginia wealth. What begins as curiosity deepens into a reckoning with the past-one that threatens reputations, political ambitions, and the fragile bond between a daughter and her father. Some rooms remember. And some mirrors refuse to forget.
