Hotel Dartmouth, built in 1871 and clad in finely detailed marble in the Second Empire Style, is located in the Dudley Square area of Roxbury.  After decades hidden under a coat of gray paint, the building’s original marble façade was restored and severely deteriorated decorative elements were replaced with exterior detail that matched the original elements. The project, which included a complete interior rehabilitation and the construction of a 25,000 square foot addition, has been a major catalyst in the revitalization of Dudley Square.
