THE LOBBY

Looking up under the suspended ceiling.  Note the detailed molding and stucco, remnants of the original architecture.

Mike Muth during a recent clean-up day.  You can see that much of the suspended ceiling has been removed, as well as the drywall, revealing the original stucco walls.

More of what was once hidden behind drywall...note the molding from the earlier photo.
