Hotel John Marshall renovations under way

According to this article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, construction has begun on this landmark downtown building. This place has been abandoned for as long as I can remember, and it’s fantastic to see that (at least somewhat) historically-accurate renovations are being done on it, rather than a straight demolition and new build. 

I am a bit bummed I never got a chance to explore it, but I was always pretty sketched out by the fact that I’m pretty sure it had a large population of homeless people and/or junkies, who I didn’t really want to run into while toting my very expensive looking camera. 

Did anyone ever get in there and take pictures?
