== Original development ==
The Hotel John Marshall, located on Fifth Street between Franklin and Grace in downtown Richmond, Virginia, opened its doors on October 30, 1929, the day after the Wall Street Crash.〔Harry Kollatz Jr., ("A Grand Lady's Revival" ), ''Richmond Magazine'', March 2012〕 The opening night ceremony included dinner for 600 guests, amongst which were both the City Mayor, J. Fulmer Bright, and the Virginia Governor Harry F. Byrd.〔
The hotel’s construction was funded by businessman Thomas Gresham, of the Richmond Hotels, Inc., to which hotel group The John Marshall originally belonged.〔Andy McCutcheon, "Memories Are Rich with Life and Times of Hotel Once Richmond Region's Best"], ''Virginia'', July 1994〕 Architect Marcellus E. Wright, who had studied at The Philadelphia School of Applied Art, designed the 16-story building in a neoclassical style with touches of deco and Moorish ornament.〔 It cost $2 million to build, and the general contractor was Wise Granite and Construction Co.〔 With 418 guest rooms, 500 bathrooms, 2 restaurants in ballrooms in the lobby and a roof garden ballroom on the 16th floor, it was the largest hotel in the state when it opened.〔 It is said that the name was chosen by a suggestion contest, with the winning name paying tribute to Chief Justice John Marshall, whose house, now a museum, sits only a few blocks away.〔
