Ginocchio Hotel and Restaurant

Italian-born Charles Ginocchio arrived in Marshall in 1871. He owned several properties near the T&P Railroad depot, including the site of a notorious 1879 shooting that left Maurice Barrymore wounded and fellow actor Ben Porter dead. In 1893-96 Ginocchio commissioned this three-story brick building with first-floor stores, café, lobby, ballroom and dining room, and forty hotel rooms on the upper floors. The foundation is of ironstone, and the interior includes rare hand-carved curly pine detailing. In the late 1960s, the Camargo Corporation and the Max C. Gaines family restored the building and saved it from demolition. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1971
