It includes the 1896 Ginocchio Hotel, the 1886 Ginocchio house, several Victorian homes, railroad structures and the old Marshall cemetery.","why_significant":"The district is argued to be significant for its architecture and its link to transportation, as a tangible reminder of Marshall's railroad heritage. It centers on C. A. Ginocchio's hotel and house, built to serve Texas and Pacific passengers, along with the depot, shops and the city's oldest cemetery. The nomination notes it was threatened by urban renewal.","narrative":"Beside the Texas and Pacific depot in Marshall, Texas, this 25-acre district gathers the buildings and sites tied to the town's railroad era. Its centerpiece is the Ginocchio Hotel, a three-story brick building designed by C. G. Lancaster and built between 1893 and 1896 for restaurateur Charles A. Ginocchio. It is known for its thick walls and extensive curly pine woodwork milled in the railway shops. Nearby are Ginocchio's 1886 brick house and several Victorian residences, including the Whaley, Allen, Mitchell, Crowall, Meyers and Patillo houses. The district also takes in the 1908 Mission Revival passenger depot, freight station, railway shops, steel water towers, Bolivar Street viaducts and the Marshall cemetery, the city's oldest, where early Texas leaders are buried. Marshall became the eastern terminus of the Texas and Pacific in 1873, and the district was listed as a surviving link to that heritage while urban renewal threatened the area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"C.
