They were in Richmond. Not a chain, but a place.
The John Marshall was atypical 20s tall example of Boom Hotel Style, as was the William Byrd; the former was taller, but the latter had a three story penthouse on top. Surprise - they're both apartments now! Who would have thought.
The Richmond was demolished. The Murphy - another 20s hotel in the Boom Style - was turned into offices in 1969, and wrecked in 2007.
No longer at your service.
