Jefferson Hotel, the Palm Court. The 'Palm Court' of the Jefferson Hotel, with its stately palms, and murmuring fountain, and glorious dome of art glass, can hardly fail to evoke the admiration of all lovers of the artistic and beautiful in the center of the court, and facing the Franklin Street entrance to the hotel, stands Valentine's exquisite statue of Thos. Jefferson, after whom the hotel takes its name.
