The Exchange Hotel was completed in 1841 in Richmond, VA. It is a Gothic revival four-story designed by Isaiah Rogers. It was very popular before the civil war. The Ballard House opened up across the street in 1855. It was a five-story Italianate. The two were competitors for several years. Then they merged with a bridge that went over the street to form the Ballard-Exchange. Their old architecture prevented them from being one of the premiere Richmond hotels at the time.〔(Hotel: An American History ) By A. K. Sandoval-Strausz 2007 Yale University Press p. 239〕 On January 18, 1862, Former President of the United States John Tyler died in the hotel. It was demolished from 1900-1901.〔http://www.vahistorical.org/lva/exchange.htm〕 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Exchange Hotel (Richmond, Virginia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
