The Exchange Hotel, completed in 1841 in Richmond, VA, was 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.[1] On January 18, 1862, Former President of the United States John Tyler died in the hotel. It was demolished from 1900-1901.[2] References 1. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=OUxZkZqDASEC&source=gbs_navlinks_s Hotel: An American History] By A. K.
