Unique Glimpses
INSIDE The Hotel & with Dr. Carl McIntire!
|
Welcome to
"Anita's Page" of my Christian Admiral Collection. Anita took time to
email after visiting the Christian Admiral collection to share her memories of the
hotel. After corresponding for just a few weeks, she sent me a few personal images
that she scanned. Her collection was so "unique", I decided to display
her collection on it's very own page. Anita, thank you for sharing your memories of
the hotel.
Here is the very first image she sent - a wonderful multi-view
image featuring the luxurious interior of the hotel. The grand staircase,
the fine furnishings, the massive columns in the dining room and lobby.

people only knew Anita as "Betsy Ross" |

Great architecture was a trademark of the hotel. Here is a
glorious image of the Tiffany Dome over the Main Lobby (Photo to Right)
"I had to share
something with you about the hotel that I don't think too many people ever noticed. On the
lower level entrance, under the great concrete stairs to the upper porch entrance,
stalactites had formed in the cracks of the concrete structure. They were about an inch or
so long. I always felt it beat the theory in the head that it takes a million years to get
one to grow one inch! Man thinks he knows so much -- but I think God laughs at us
sometimes. He is the awesome one."
- Anita Myers
