With only the foundation completed the site became known as "Villard's Ruins" and the bodies of two murder victims were found there before construction resumed. George B. Markle Jr. began a campaign to raise local money to complete the hotel. He generated enough interest and subscribers to his plan among them Henry W. Corbett Henry Failing Simeon Reed and William S. Ladd to get construction started again. Later investors included labor leader Ed Boyce. The Queen Anne Châteauesque hotel finally opened in 1890 and had eight floors and 326 bedrooms.It had cost well over a million dollars and eight years to complete." wiki The hotel closed in 1951 and all the furniture was sold at auction. unknown books
