can just imagine what this looked like years ago. Probably a ballroom of some sort
Yeah, it probably was a ballroom with those mirrored pillars. Such a tragic waste.
Mmmm.......70's mirror tiles...how FAN....ceeeeeee!!!!.....:-)
did many ballrooms have pillars in the center? most ballrooms ive seen have been just very big open spaces. This one looks a little narrow
Where did all of that stuff come from do you suppose?
A conference room with dividers?
the shining!
BALLROOM ONCE HAD COLUMNS LIKE THE ONES SEEN IN THE LOBBY
ahhh the st.louis motel6 I see!
looks just like MY room
WOW - I would have loved to go rooting through this being the dumpster diver that I am!!! Do I see old computer parts?
wow .
this must have been so beautiful back when it was up and running .
A mirrior of past besotted enjoyment
I must say this is a mess thats for sure....but thats what happens when places are left empty.....wow....time warp.....
that must have been a room that the owner threw the trash left from the rooms when it wasnt the owner's hotel anymore
klotz???
this place is a pigsty!
ballroom?
Aaurghh, Terrible! A trashed hotel is much more visually startling than the same in a vacant industrial complex.
I can picture a wedding reception being held here in the 1970s. The groom is wearing a power blue polyester tux with dark blue velvet bow tie & lapels & stripe down each leg. The bridesmaids are dressed in pastel colors. The DJ is playing KC & the Sunshine Band or Abba on the turntable. I bet many a wedding cake was cut in this room over the years.
I would have loved to be in this Hotel when it was being run as such.
I was standing in front of it today it's such a shame that the building is in such disrepair. I would have liked to go inside, but after previously looking at some of the photos that that someone took of the inside of the building It probably would not have been wise to attempt entry. I was told today that what's left of the Hotel would have to be torn down. What a shame/
My mother use to sing at the hotel sterling maybe that is what this room was.
I remember this room from the 60's. It was the ballroom. Quite the place! We would go for their Sunday smorgasbord; I remember tables filled with split lobster tail!!

My parent's wedding reception was here. I know there were pillars here but I am guessing that they were damaged in the 1972 flood and mirrored. Don't really know though.


Lots of memories from when this hotel was a showcase.
i"m thinking, more a gentlemans club lol
We had our Junior prom in this room in 1968/69 and Senior prom in 1969/70. Hanover Twp. Memorial.
