- Francis_Marion_Hotel abstract "The historic Francis Marion Hotel at 387 King St., Charleston, South Carolina, is one of the tallest buildings in Charleston. The hotel, named for the Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion, was built by local investors at a cost of $1.5 million from plans by noted New York architect William Lee Stoddart. The hotel was built in 1924 by the Marion Square Realty Co., a group headed by former mayor of Charleston T.T. Hyde. The original ownership group formed on March 13, 1920. When the hotel opened on February 7, 1924, the Francis Marion was the largest and grandest hotel in the Carolinas.In 1952, the hotel became the first fully air-conditioned hotel in Charleston.The Jack Tar Hotel Corp. bought the hotel in 1954. The hotel under went a major renovation in 1955-1956 which included the creation of the Swamp Fox Room, a ground-floor restaurant named for the nickname of Francis Marion. During that work, the ground floor of the exterior was changed to red granite.In 1961, the hotel announced plans to built a three-story parking deck to the north of the hotel on King St. according to plans drawn by Augustus Constantine. The plans were never completed.Starting upon his retirement as the president of the Citadel in 1965 until 1975, Gen. Mark W. Clark lived with his wife in the penthouse of the hotel.In 1976, the hotel was doing poorly, and its owners were considering whether to sell out. At the time, the hotel accounted for about 25% of all of the hotel rooms on the peninsula. In 1975, the owners had considered converting the hotel into a home for the elderly.In 1977, a group of investors considered buying the hotel from Jack Tar Hotels, Inc. The owners at that time had considered renovating the hotel, and the City of Charleston had considered building a parking garage next to the hotel as part of a deal. However, the cost of restoring the buildings as a first-class destination, about $3 million, was too high.".
