The William Byrd Hotel is an 11-story Classical Revival building completed in 1925 in Richmond, Virginia. Clad in limestone, buff brick, and decorative terra cotta, the steel-frame structure exemplifies Neoclassical architectural principles with its tripartite division of base, shaft, and capital, topped by a distinctive three-story penthouse with a one-story addition. The hotel operated until the 1980s, when it was subsequently converted into apartments in 1996. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Virginia Historic Landmark. As of 2017, the William Byrd Apartments were owned by Project: Homes, a regional nonprofit organization providing housing for low-income seniors.
